Have you received your copy of the July/August/September 2011 issue of Kinnelon Public Library's Bookmarks? Check out the inside front cover. It describes my Social Media Presentation Series at the Kinnelon Library.

It's a three part series taking place July 6, 13 and 20th starting at 7pm. The topic? My very favorite: social media.
