Using professional photos will make your ad look better. Even though the photos from these sites will have watermarks over the images, the photos still will look better than amateur photography.

Magazines for Idea File

There are two  magazine "cutting stations" available at the Library Services Desk. They can be reserved for 2 hours. There is no guarantee that the magazines will be new/good/useful, or have any good ads left in them. The library does save as many magazines as they can, but you are expected to find magazines on your own -- so please do not rely on this source.

Reserve a station here.
