The library subscribes to 10 magazines now (including GamePro, Seventeen, & Teen People) that are read mostly by middle and high school students. We're thinking about adding these 4 -- would you read one or more of them? which ones? if we can only get 2 of the 4, which ones would you choose? can you suggest any others?
1.
CosmoGirl. CosmoGirl! is a magazine for real girls with real issues -- guys, beauty, fashion, money, parents, school, changing bodies, and more. Each bimonthly issue has insider beauty and fashion secrets from the stars and their stylists, plus celeb and runway fashion trends that readers can actually afford and find at local malls. CosmoGirl! gets personal and gives realistic advice about situations at home, at school, and with friends with an eye toward encouraging individuality and confidence
2.
Skateboarding. The voice of skateboarding. Each issue is filled with interviews with the pros, trick tips on how to improve your skating, and worldwide coverage of skateboarding. Designed to spread the culture, each issue brings bold, inside coverage of equipment, events, personalities & techniques.
3.
Teen Vogue. teenVOGUE magazine began as a version of Vogue magazine for a younger audience. The magazine focuses on fashion and celebrities, but also offers information the latest entertainment and feature stories on current issues and events.
4.
Teen Voices. Teen Voices is about girls being themselves and realizing their potential. There are enough magazines that tell girls how to look and act to impress a boy or buy certain products. Teen Voices honors the authentic voices of teenage and young adult women. Teen Voices challenges the mainstream media's image of girls by providing an intelligent alternative packed with original writing, poetry and artwork. We encourage our readers to write articles on self-esteem, racism, sexism, feminism, popular culture, health, and other issues important to them.
Every time you turn around, adaptations are being made of our old favorites -- books to movies, classics to graphic novels, even video game characters are popping up on the big screen or in print, and vice versa! What would you like to see get a makeover? What books did you think should have been left alone? Or how would you have done it better...?
