Fort Bend County Libraries will present a basic, introductory class “Pinterest for Beginners” on Thursday, June 13, beginning at 10:15 am, at the Cinco Ranch Branch Library. The class will be repeated on Wednesday, June 19, beginning at 7:00 p.m., at the Mission Bend Branch Library.
Learn all about Pinterest, the virtual pinboard that has taken the social-media population by storm. Pinterest enables people to organize and share items of interest to them that they have found on the Internet. Pinboards can be used to collect ideas for anything from planning weddings or decorating homes to organizing favorite recipes, and much more. Those attending the class should already have a working email address and password.
“Facebook for Beginners” will take place at the Mission Bend Branch Library on Thursday, June 20, beginning at 10:30 a.m,. in the Computer Lab of the library.
The Adult Services staff of the library will show how to set up a Facebook account, search for friends, make “friend requests,” and write wall posts. Those attending this class should have a basic working knowledge of computers, and must have a personal email account already set up before the class.
