In order to assist patrons in selecting a children's magazine that is appropriate for the intended audience, Grand Rapids Public Library in Michigan maintain a file containing a sample issue of each children's magazine available in the U.S. Not only can patrons then have the opportunity to examine a magazine before they subscribe, but they also have access to subscription blanks that can be photocopied.

Library sources do not adequately this question, and telling the patron to find an attorney by word of mouth leaves much to be desired. In this situation, the local court system can be a resource.

The patron who is willing to go to this effort may find an attorney who is already knowledgeable about the defendant and ready to proceed ably and efficiently.
