It’s been a little while, so it’s time for updated Cloud Library/Kindle Fire instructions! You’ll find a new, easier to follow guide attached to this email as well as an updated version of our guide for older devices. You’ll also find these new handouts posted on the SHARE training site within the Cloud Library Demo course. Simply log in with your Polaris user name and password, self-enroll in any of the courses you are interested in and you’ll always have access to training materials.
This week I’ll be purchasing Cloud Library items a day early, so please have any items you would like purchased finalized in your shopping cart by noon on Thursday, February 16.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Zinio Users Group on February 2nd and an extra big Thank You to Forsyth Public Library for hosting. We had a great time learning marketing tips and tricks and viewing a demo of the new Recorded Books app coming in April. We hope to make this type of meeting an annual event for our Zinio members. Recorded Books has created a lovely little marketing video for our public libraries group that you are welcome to put on your website. Email me if you’d like the embed code and I’ll send it your way.
