City <strong>of</strong> Delavan Librarian Amber McCrae speaks to the Delavan-Darien Rotary<br />

Club on March 4, during their regular meeting at <strong>Lake</strong> Lawn Resort. She spoke about<br />

how technology has greatly expanded the number <strong>of</strong> magazines available at Aram<br />

Public Library. A s<strong>of</strong>tware program called Zinio allows readers to access magazines<br />

electronically in a ‘flip the pages’ style on computers, tablets, I-Pads, etc. The Zinio<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware program is licensed by the <strong>Lake</strong>shore Library System and is accessible with<br />

a library card from any internet location. ZInio solves the problem <strong>of</strong> hard copy shortages,<br />

explained Amber, as well as raising magazine circulations from 135 in 2011 to<br />

1,300 in 2012. The biggest advantage <strong>of</strong> Zinio is the unlimited availability <strong>of</strong> almost 100<br />

<strong>of</strong> the most popular magazines – to anyone with a library card. (Photo furnished)<br />

decluttering, one that goes beyond cleaning<br />

out drawers to reconsidering your relationship<br />

to your belongings. Examine your<br />

beliefs about needs vs. wants and how your<br />

attitudes relate to today’s fast-paced world.<br />

Clutter Coach Kathi Miller returns to help<br />

attendees learn simple strategies for living a<br />

more sustainable, earth-friendly life. Registration<br />

is required.<br />
