Which makes me think...should we have a neighborhood location where 
we leave our magazines when we're finished reading them, so others 
can pick them up free?

I know, we have the twice-a-year Book Sale at our Rochambeau Library, 
where we can buy a stack of old magazines for a dollar or two, which 
is a good start.  But the Rehoboth Library has a box near their door, 
where patrons leave their recent magazines for others to simply take, 
while they are still recent...
