Newspapers and Magazines
 

Magazines and newspapers are located in the Reference Room on the top floor of the library.  In addition to the current issues, we keep newspaper back issues for two months and magazine back issues for three years.  For The New York Times, The Record, and The Herald & News we have microfilm going back many years.  Many Spanish-language magazines and two Spanish-language newspapers are available.
