As long as we're talking about magazines, there are LOTS of Christian magazines and other high quality magazines out there for kids. They each have a different focus, and they're generally (within about 3 years) age specific .
They cost money and they're consumable but they often appeal to kids who aren't crazy about reading long books. (and Babybug is actually done in a boardbook format for babies.) Many of the stories and articles are relatively short. They're often content specific. They're usually have great visuals. AND you can cut the old ones up and use them for crafts!
Consider a lending library or just a basket of used children's books and magazines specifically for kids. Expect them to get battered, bruised, and used. Some of our libraries in the city have a "Bring one, take one" rack. Probably lower maintainance than a lending library.
I also think Rochester once had a toy lending library.
Just some ideas for communities (large or small) looking to simplify their individual lives, still taking advantage of all the stimulating resources out there.
I suppose it could also work as an outreach tool to the community, open Saturday mornings 10 to 2 or something. (Depending on your neighborhood.)
