Amicus Books Literary Arts Center offers a wonderful magazine trade program to help you recycle your past issues. It is free to all community members.

Reliable sources now indicate that magazines (mostly from National Geographic) are proliferating at such an incredible rate, they're beginning to throw the earth off its axis! You may have noticed this phenomenon in your home or office: stacks of magazines attempting lunar orbits from your bookshelves, taking over the coffee table, spreading to the living room floor and lying in ambush under your couch. It’s a global crisis with a local solution: BUY LESS AND TRADE MORE. Consider the magazine trade program available at Amicus Books Literary Arts Center. It’s FREE and it’s SMART.

Here's how it works:

If you don't have any magazines to trade:

1.) It's simple--just select the magazines you want (there is no limit).

2.) Take them with you. This is a FREE program, there is no charge for the magazines you take.

If you have magazines to trade:

1.) Bring your issues into Amicus.

2.) Locate the trade section (downstairs by Nature and Ecology).

3.) Count the number of magazines you've brought with you (let's say you brought 10).

4.) Remove that same number of magazines from the selves. (in this case, 10).

5.) Place your past issues neatly on the shelves.

6.) Take your selections, (the 10 magazines you have removed), home wih you.

It's that simple. There is no need to check anything in or out.

The only requirement is that you take out as many as you brought in.
