Thing 12

I chose the freebooks app because I wanted access to help inform patrons of free! books for them to download.  There is a large selection and easy to use.  I have not read any books for my personal use, but would recommend to patrons as a great resource.

I use the Overdrive app quite a bit. I like to look while I am waiting in public.  I also have helped many patrons to download and how to use it.  Setup can be hard for some patrons but once the initial work is done , they are happy with the results.  I do use this quite a bit at work helping patrons.

Thing 10

I already had Instagram installed on my phone.  I don't use it that much as I don't post a lot of pictures. It is easy to use and was not hard to set up.  I am using it more for work than for my personal life.

Thing 9

I chose to download color splurge and line camera.  They worked equally well and I had a lot of fun changing and adding things to my pics. I did like color splurge a little better. It was easier to use and didn't have as many updates to download.  I probably will not use this professionally as much as I would use it personally. I may post pics of my library .

I use the Facebook app everyday. It helps me keep track of my Library's Facebook page and to help any patrons who ask questions or comment . I also use it to post upcoming events and if any new books have arrived at the library.  I do get some people who request books thru Facebook. I plan on using it a lot this summer for summer reading.
