Great way to engage with your clients, a Pinterest Party. Here is how Central City Public Library, Nebraska, describes it:

"One popular event is the monthly Pinterest parties.

Lee said the library has a Pinterest account where staff members “pin” interesting crafting ideas and recipes. About once a month, a craft is chosen and a message is posted on Facebook telling patrons what materials to bring to the library to make the craft.

Tonight’s Pinterest party includes a cookie swap using recipes found on Pinterest. On Jan. 7, patrons will learn to make wire-wrapped jewelry, and last month they made wreaths. Lee said because participants bring their own supplies, the class cost is very low, usually around $1."

Comics numériques : un succès dû aux tablettes ?

Comics numériques : un succès dû aux tablettes ? | LibraryLinks LiensBiblio | Scoop.it

L'écran des tablettes serait parfait pour lire des comics. La lecture de comics en version numérique se développe de plus en plus aux États-Unis. Selon Milton Griepp, un analyste, même s'il est difficile d'avoir des chiffres exacts les ventes de comics numériques ont plus que doublé entre l'été 2010 et l'été 2011.

On a recent episode of The Big Bang Theory, the guys asked: Why do we still go to comic-book stores? Well, Sheldon and the gang would be the first to admit they’re creatures of habit, but many readers of the graphic arts are embracing new means of accessing their favourite titles.
