So I joined Pinterest

I have had little time to update this blog as I am juggling 3 part time jobs at the moment. It seems I have even less time to reflect on library programs than before. In an effort to keep my program ideas more organized (aside from this blog or course) I have caved in and joined Pinterest. As I suspected I am fully addicted. What I did not anticipate is how immensely useful a tool it is. I am gathering some wonderful, easy ideas for my library and home. Each year I do a couple programs that involve a children's ornament making workshop. I created a pinboard for "ornaments" and am already saving ideas to implement in December. In previous years I would have to scour Martha Stewart and Family Fun magazine for the perfect project.

So, yes despite my earlier blog post vowing to not join Pinterest I have drunk the Kool-Aid. If you want to join me check me out @ http://pinterest.com/llafera

Pinterest Teen Programs

I have made a choice to not join Pinterest. No matter how fun and adorable it looks I will not cave in. No I do not have a fundamental problem with Pinterest I am just afraid if I cave in it will consume all my freetime. I already lurk on etsy late into the late, really should not take on another venture. That doesn't stop me from admiring all the amazing work librarians are doing on Pinterest though?
