My friend Tina is a graphic designer and she was singing the praises of Pinterest back in 2010 so I opened up an account.
I didn't think it would be of much use to me and in all honesty I never used it until this year when I started working in the library. Trying to put on original craft activities for 15 kids with a €20 budget and no experience is a bit of a challenge. Suddenly Pinterest was the best thing ever.

Apart from looking for craft ideas I now use it to record images of any craft activities that I have done during my time here out in the sticks. Who knows those images may be of use to somebody else in a similar situation.
Pinterest has also been very useful to look up book display ideas as part of my Frontline library course which aims to actively promote books and reading in libraries.
As a curation tool I find Pinterest is user friendly and I would use it regulary.
