Newspapers & Magazines

Magazines

While the Library develops a new collection plan for magazines, we are not currently offering magazines for browsing or checkout. Magazines from other libraries may be borrowed for pickup at Lafayette by placing a hold in the Library catalog using your Library card, or by request to Library staff at the Adult Services desk, 303-661-1163. 

Newspapers 

Newspapers are now located near the windows in the Nonfiction Area of the Library (to the right off the main-level Lobby).

Online Magazines

To access digital magazines and newspapers, you may be prompted to enter your Lafayette Library card number; if you don’t have one, call us at 303-661-1163. We will make you a new card over the phone.
