LULD was able to obtain approximately 300 tles in this manner and is in the process of adding them to its collecon. These include books, audiobooks on CD, music CDs, and maps. Some of these books are highly specialized and others are recent publicaons by popular authors. Each of these items was chosen by an LULD staff member from the Library of Congress’s offerings, based on his understanding of local interests. LULD has been adding subscripons to periodicals that meet a variety of interests. These include magazines focused on popular local acvies, such as hiking, fishing, ATVs, boang, family history/genealogy research, and RVs; magazines and newspapers about local, regional, naonal, and internaonal news and current events; professional magazines focused on specific industries; magazines about science and nature; comic books/graphic novels; magazines about lifestyle, home improvement, and architecture; magazines for those interested in reading or learning another language (Spanish or Chinese); history and culture of Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, and elsewhere; etc. Library cardholders may borrow an unlimited number of magazines for a period of 3 weeks at a me.
