Just in time for

Taste and see if indeed “Chocolate, the Perfect Drug” is fact or fiction! Learn from Mike Cross which chemicals elicit

chocolate for quality and how to eat it, too!
Join us on Tuesday, February 10th, for this delicious
education evening from 6:30-8:00pm.

Flipster™, a New Way to Access Digital Magazines: Patrons
of Kimball Library can now access digital magazines using Flipster™ from EBSCO
Information Services. Flipster is a next-generation digital magazine service
that allows people to browse the latest issues of high quality digital versions
of popular magazines, courtesy of the library.
We have both Flipster and hard-copy versions of magazines like
People, Sports Illustrated, and Bloomsburg so patrons have the option of
accessing the content at the library or remotely. Magazines can be downloaded
to iPads or iPad Minis, Android tablets, and the Kindle Fire via a native app
for offline reading anytime anywhere. Magazines can be viewed on the browser of
your computer, mobile device, or tablet without the app. The main difference is
you need an internet connection and a recent browser if you are not using the
app.
Flipster offers an easy, browseable reading experience. Users
can browse magazines by category as well as perform searches for specific
periodicals. An online newsstand provides a carousel of the most recent issues,
as well as a carousel of all issues allowing for quick access to magazines. The
table of contents contains links to quickly go to articles of interest and
hotlinks within magazines are hyperlinked, opening in separate tabs when
clicked. In addition, there is an option to zoom in and out for better
readability.
Use the available link under “LIBRARY LINKS” on our website to
take a test drive or flip! Currently the sky is the limit, our selection after
the initial trial period will be more select.
Do take note that Newsweek is available and not ever available in print!

HOLIDAY HOURS: We
will be closed on Monday, February 16th, observing Presidents’ Day. Please stock up accordingly.
