The UNH Library has 4 branch libraries in addition to the Main Library. Also, other library departments also have their own periodical subscriptions. An approximation of titles currently received in the Current Periodicals room is 2,800. Popular Periodicals are shelved on 2 separate shelving racks next to the periodicals desk. These are the racks with the slanted shelves.
Popular periodicals tend to be more leisure reading rather than scholarly reading.
There are about 74 titles in this collection. However, we have other leisure reading materials in the current collection. Current Periodicals comprise the bulk of the collection and are shelved in both rooms. While older issues of the Popular Periodicals also circulate for 24 hours, there is a limit of 2 per patron. And the most recent issues of the popular periodicals do not circulate at all.
