Week 2: Find two library Pinterest boards and tell us why you would use them at your library.

I just started using Pinterest after Institute this year. I found amazing ideas for summer reading and have revisited it for window displays, storytime and homeschool lessons on a regular basis this school year. I have yet to actively use it for social networking for the library. Perhaps this class will give me the confidence and insight to do just that.

1. The first board I found is for the summer reading program. Fizz, Boom, Read: CSLP Summer 2014.  It has fantastic activity pins for the children and teen programs:

The second board I found is for Banned Books Week. I created our window display for Banned Books Week this year and used several of the ideas I found on this board. I was able to adapt them to fit our needs, our budget and the supplies we had on hand:

2.  I commented on Raven's blog. Keep pinning, Lemmon!

Week 1 - what are four kinds of things libraries are doing with Facebook?

1.  Libraries are:
-promoting events
-having contests/surveys
-sharing new books
-posting photographs of programs and people using the library

2.  I commented on Doris' blog. Nice work, Doris!
