What is LiNK! and how can I use it?

LiNK by Entourage Yearbooks is a service to provide the ongoing “link” between your yearbook and your community. At Entourage, we believe yearbooks will be an important means to preserve memories for years to come. It was, after all, one of the original forms of social media before online social media existed. But yearbooks are going through a change. Entourage is helping to lead that change by providing a way to use yearbooks as a way to stay connected, not only through your bound book, but through online “links” as well.
