This is kinda thrilling. I was looking for the current article about yesterday's online book club that's in Woman's Day's "Dare to Dream" column entitled "For the Love of Reading". But I got distracted by one of thier current contests, promoting family history and libraries in a unique way. Woman's Day Magazine
Discover Your Family History at the Library
In 700 words or fewer, let us know why you'd like to have the opportunity to research your family history with a genealogist and librarian. Why are you so interested in your roots? What does it mean to you? How do you think the library can help you discover your family history?
Email your entry to wdwriting@hfmus.com.
Two readers will be chosen to be meet with a genealogist at their local library and will be featured in an upcoming issue of Woman’s Day.
Be sure to include your name, age, address and phone number.
Entry period: Feb. 5, 2005 - May 3, 2005 Noon ET

Just thought it was cool... Our databases no longer cover Woman's Day (ProQuest did for a few years) but their website is pretty fully loaded for content.
Woman's Day and Family Circle have been some of my main reading over the years!
