The Magathon

The 12th annual Magathon kicks off the Lit Mag Marathon weekend this year with a “marathon" reading in the DeWitt Wallace Periodical Room, home to one of the largest contemporary literary magazine collections in the country. The reading will feature 15-20 editors, representing journals of all sizes and styles.  In celebration of the Library's 100th Anniversary, participants will read a favorite selection from their very first issue.
