★★★★★

Learning how to use Publisher to make flyers an other advertisements for our library was extremely helpful. I always thought Publisher was complicated, but this class showed me it isn't. I love using it! Also, the feature "Save and Send" was new to me & a great surprise. I often have to send flyers to the other libraries in our district & this makes it so easy & fast.
