Week 2 Assignment: Find 2 library pinterest boards and tell us why you would use them at your library? Start a new post on your blog to complete this assignment.
1. Post URL's of the 2 boards.
2. Read and comment on one of your classmate's posts on this question
One of the library Pinterest boards that I liked can be found at the following URL:
http://www.pinterest.com/momason54/library-ideas/. This particular board will come in handy for me because it has many pins that show picture books that fit various themes, such as "19 Books about Bugs" or "19 Monster Books for Kids." Sometimes, I just have trouble coming up with a theme for story-time, so I can use this Board to give me some ideas and book recommendations. I already follow several boards that help me to come up with craft ideas once I have a theme in mind.
I recently began looking on the internet for book reviews of some of our new arrivals and pinning them to a "Book Review" board on Pinterest. I thought I would look to see what other book review boards were out there and save myself a little time by just pinning the pins of others. Surprisingly, none of the book review boards I have found contained a lot of the books/authors popular at our library. Some were too heavy to romance, others to paranormal. I'd like to find one that covers the authors popular here like David Baldacci, James Patterson, Harlan Coben, John Sandford, Craig Johnson, C. J. Box, etc... I guess I'll just have to snag a review here or there from the different boards. I didn't like any of the book review boards enough to post as my second URL. So, I searched some more.
I like the board found at the following URL: http://www.pinterest.com/tiffums4/the-library/. It has pins like "32 Popular Book Club Novels," "What Should I Read Next," and "Books Every Geek Should Read to Their Kids." So, I think I will follow this board. It could come in handy for helping with readers' advisory requests and planning book discussions.
I'd like to take more time to research, but I'll let my classmates do it for me and wait to see what sites they found to be interesting.
These both look like GREAT boards. Book review boards would be good too. When I get more time to research, I will see what I can find too and let you know!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I will be glad to see what others have found. There is never enough time to look at them all! That's why I am still working on week 2 when it's week 4 :)
