Thing 11 of 23 Mobile Things

Libraries and Reference... Zinio and Overdrive... First:  Zinio!  I LOVE ZINIO!  I love magazines for ideas on home decor, gardening, crafts, arts, recipes, health and travel.  With such a range of interests, it is challenging to keep up with all of the "physical" materials.  Magazines on my IPad  is great... No lost or damaged issues taking up space around my chair or bed... I now have many issues organized within my mobile device available any time and place... No Clutter! I am always suggesting it to patrons at the library.
  Next, Overdrive!  Also Wonderful although I do not utilize very often.  I have downloaded several books from time to time and one audio book when I drove to Texas.  I soon discovered I needed a speaker for my IPad while driving in order to hear over road noise.  I am also partial to the physical feel of books.  I recently posted signs at the library of a couple of new YA and J E-books.  That is something I feel I need to make more effort with for our area kids as well as myself.
  I appreciate having both available for my use as well as my community... "It's a Good Thing."

Thing 10 of 23 Mobile Things

Instagram... Hmmm... I feel a little lost with this one because I hesitate to add to my contacts and Facebook.  I am an outgoing person but, I don't like so much of myself being "out there".
