There’s No Reason Not to Stay Up on Current Events

If you’re like any college student in the world, leaving home and coming to school has probably put you a little behind on your current events. Thankfully, the Park Library has the solution. We carry stacks of newspapers from all over the region, plus wide-circulation newspapers such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.

Want to know what the weather is like in Nags Head? The Coastliner is the premier source of information for the Outer Banks. What to know how your old high school football team from Cary is doing? No problem, the News and Observer has all the scores. These, along with several other newspapers, are delivered to the Park Library every single day, so you’ll always have up-to-date information at your slightly-blackened-from-newspaper-ink fingertips. We usually hold newspapers for about a month before they are recycled (Park Library is also environmentally friendly!), so make sure you check ‘em out before it’s too late.

We also have subscriptions to a variety of magazines, from Popular Photography (Visual Communications, anyone?) to Time Magazine (I know there is someone in the J-School who wants to work there) to Entertainment Weekly (Yes, I do think the stars of Twilight are dating). Older volumes of magazines are kept with our stacks and are never thrown out. If you need Fortune Magazine from September 5, 2005, we have it available.

So whether you want to catch up on current events, need some information for a class, or just want to relax with something OTHER than a textbook, stop on by and browse through our newspaper and magazine racks. Comfy chairs (hopefully) coming soon.
