In today's society people are hit with a lot of news.  People have 24 hour news on TV, radio and the internet.  There are times it gets too much and you just want the news that is important to you.  The Flipboard app can help you with that.  Once you log into Flipboard, you will be promtped to choose the topics you are interested in.

Once you have selected the topics that interest you, you can then "flip" through them on your device.

Another cool feature of Flipboard is you can create your own "magazines" of articles that interest you.  You can then share them with other people.  If you don't want to do that, you can follow other magazines people have made.  Here is a link to a magazine I created.  Feel free to follow https://flipboard.com/@avlibrarian/passions-of-an-avlibrarian-3jhinos4y
