MeL Minute: The Guilty Pleasures of MeL
by Ann Kaskinen 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

[A picture containing text, clipart, sign Description automatically generated]Since childhood, summer seems to be the natural season of the year to relax, wind down, and even indulge ourselves a little-often through vacations, ice cream, or long books on the beach. But have you ever considered perusing the Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/welcome> for those publications that we tend to buy somewhere near the checkout line at the local grocery store? Imagine sifting through the thousands of free publications for sheer entertainment-not work or school or anything research related-just fun. Well, MeL has some great indulgences for a little chill time this summer. Whether your pleasures are human-interest stories, catching up on sports, or even checking out what's new in Hollywood, MeL just might have what you're seeking. Better Homes & Gardens Founded by Edwin Meredith<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> and first published in 1922, Better Homes & Gardens<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> screams nostalgia. As US Secretary of Agriculture, Meredith had a grand idea to expand a highway from Winnipeg, Canada to New Orleans to support farmers getting their goods to market and so tourists would generate commerce. Jefferson Highway, noted in this article from Louisiana Life<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, remains popular among travelers. Still going strong, the June issue<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> of Better Homes & Gardens continues to cover topics such as gardening, health, home repair, and travel. People Published weekly, People<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> is available in both PDF and HTML formats from 1974 to present. This publication might lean a bit toward Hollywood gossip, but it also includes politics, business, the arts, and literature. If you want to go full-on celebrity chatter, then Us Weekly<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> is probably the magazine for you. Sports Illustrated While I'm a big fan of the Leading Off<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> series published each month in Sports Illustrated, this month's articles<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> are especially interesting, focusing on the 50th anniversary of Title IX and its impact on the people and institutions throughout America. The cover story<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> reminds us of the profound gender inequality that existed before June 23, 1972, when President Nixon signed the Education Amendment Act. HGTV Magazine Added to the MasterFILE Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> lineup in 2020, HGTV Magazine<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> is the newest checkout-line staple to make it into MeL.
