We have many periodicals available for use in our library. Some periodicals are digital while others are printed. The digital copies are available for viewing on the Resource Centre’s computers, and the current print copies are available for use within the Resource Centre.
The printed back issues are available for members to either review in the Resource Centre or to check out for up to 3 weeks.
