Many people forget that special libraries also serve as information centers and employ librarians and information professionals. Pinterest has become a tool to help bring awareness and publicize the unique holdings of special libraries.

• State Libraries: California State Library, Delaware State Library, Indiana State Library, South Carolina State Library, South Dakota State Library, and State Library of Ohio

These libraries cater to the populations of their specific state and often feature state authors and history.

• Donors Forum Library (Chicago, IL) Hailed as Midwest's largest collection of nonprofit and philanthropic resources, the Donors Forum Library's pins are helpful to anyone interested in this topic.
• Little Rock Air Force Base Library (Little Rock, AR) This library proudly serves those in the military and their families at this air force base.

Please comment on this post and let us know what other special libraries are using Pinterest. Many special libraries do not use the word 'library' in their name, and we would love to see what you are doing with Pinterest.
