Our Magazines

 

Rock Island Public Library — Main
Periodicals

The Rock Island Public Library makes available a wide selection of magazines and newspapers for the use of our patrons. Current issues of magazines are kept on display racks near the study tables by the Circulation Desk on the main floor. Children’s magazines are kept in the Children’s Library on the lower level. Daily newspapers are available in the library’s Reference area.

Due to limitations of storage space, the library is only keeping the current year of the following magazines. Please note that the library’s magazine subscriptions are always changing as publishers go in and out of business and as patrons’ needs change. If you have trouble locating any of these items, ask a Reference Librarian for assistance.

Current issues of magazines are for in-library use and cannot be checked out.  Previous issues can be checked out.

Entries are listed alphabetically.
