The Pinterest Hands-On Workshop was held November 19, 2013 at the Ripon Public Library,
The new era of social media is visual – as people become pressed for time and are exposed to huge amounts of information, pictures are the short-form way to communicate information quickly and succinctly. Learn how to use the image-based social media network Pinterest to show & tell your library’s story and to showcase its services & collections in a visually appealing way.
