Week 2 Featured App: Pinterest

Library Institute Question of the week:
Find 2 library pinterest boards and tell us why you would use them at your library?

I love Pinterest and find it very addictive.  I introduced it to my very artistic/crafty daughter and now our house is full of Pinterest inspired projects!  I have even showed some of my older patrons how to use it.  They now are blaming me for their obsession.   I use it quite frequently when looking for ideas for my classes and the library. 

I used the following search for finding Summer Reading Ideas.  I have pinned many of these ideas on my own boards.  http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=Summer%20Reading%20program

I have also used this search for boards when looking for Library display and ideas and the last one I found some neat bulletin board ideas for Christmas.

I even "copied" an idea for Christmas and made a "book tree" on my desk this year. People think I'm so creative, but I really am just a copycat.  Pinterest is great!
