23 Things - Week 5

Week 5 already - and this week's tasks are all to do with using pinterest.

I started using pinterest about a year ago, at the urging of one of our summer students. It is a great source of craft and display ideas, and although I don't use it a lot, I have created an account, and even a board. The board I call Library Programming Ideas, and use it to pin library related ideas on. It is great way to keep ideas that are out of season - if you see a Halloween idea in January, or a Christmas idea in July - and have a place to keep that idea where it can be retrieved - easily. We recently have hosted Blind Date With a Book, and used pinterest for a lot of our display ideas.

At the suggestion of our 23 Things trainers, I checked out the Moncton Library's boards, and decided to follow the one "What to Read Next". And then after seeing all the great reading suggestions, I decided to create a new board, just about reading.

All of these things can be overwhelming - the sheer volume of ideas, of "things I'd like to do". Will have to remember to check my feed more often!
