Facebook

I joined Facebook and invited some friends to join me. I added photos and joined some Library groups. This looks like it will be fun!

Using Overdrive


I used Overdrive to put Black Rose by Nora Roberts, I still prefer holding a book in my hand to read. But I think it is a very useful application.

This is frustrating for me.
