Support the Library ​by Adopting a Periodical​

Library staff are always facing the trade off between spending on books and other circulating materials versus the magazine titles that patrons are interested in.  You can be part of the effort to keep the periodical section of the Mount Vernon Library current by “adopting” a magazine.

Review the list below and pick one or more favorites that you want to continue to see in the library. Then click the blue button to be taken to the donation page, fill out the form, and donate the cost of a year’s subscription.  If you would like to adopt a title that is not on the list, send an email to [email protected] and we will have someone check availability and get back with you.

Your donation will be honored with your name on a label on the magazine cover.  If you prefer to remain anonymous, please let us know by adding a comment on the form.  If you prefer to donate a fixed amount and want the library staff to decide which periodicals to apply it to, please also indicate this on the form.
