Re: Smithsonian Adopt a library program

It is NOT a ploy to get you to subscribe next year. It is a program
run by the Smithsonian where subscribers pay most of a subscription
and the Smithonian picks up the rest for school and public libraries.
If the subscriber continues to participate in the program,  you keep
getting the magazine.  How do I know this. We participate and have
donated again. The list of receiving libraries is the same as last
year.
