RSS Feeds


RSS Feeds are a bit confusing at first.  Once I understood them I found them quite interesting.  RSS Feeds helps libraries to keep up to date with the latest news and with other libraries.  They save time searching for up to date information. Libraries can use RSS Feeds to update staff and patrons on upcoming events, book clubs, book titles and many more things. 
  








RSS Feeds allow me easy access to information that interests me. 
[Update 10 November] Here are the feeds I subscribed to:

Read, read, read.....

What do you think about Lifelong Learning?

Lifelong learning starts with reading.... 


 

Lifelong learning is a great  way to help anyone who struggles using computers and the internet.  It teaches you to keep your mind active.  You are never to old to learn new things.  I love learning new things. 

I am always reading and encourage parents to start reading with children from a very young age.
