Mediaboss Marketing

Beth Burd, owner of Beth Burd Social Marketing & Business Promotion, will present a class at Carnegie Free Library in Connellsville for everyone who would like to know more about using Pinterest.

Pinterest is an Internet visual tool that allows people to discover, exchange ideas, such as recipes, do-it-yourself projects, fashion ideas, etc.

Burd of Connellsville has been a familiar face at Carnegie Free Library. She has helped library patrons with other topics including safe Internet, Facebook and iPhone.

She will offer a Pinterest class from 1-3 p.m. Wednesday. Cost for each participant is $25, which Burd will donate to the library.

I feel very strongly about donating time to the community to help it grow, Burd said. I am on the Connellsville Recreation Board, and have been volunteering off and on with the library for a few years now. The library is a wonderful landmark in our city, and when the FRIENDS asked me to teach these classes, I saw it as a great opportunity for people to learn and network while giving back to the library.

Burd said the upcoming Pinterest class is great for anyone interested in learning the social media platform but is overwhelmed by its capabilities or where to start.

This is a beginner-level class, so if you have never used it, that's OK. All are welcome, she said.

The class is interactive. Questions will be answered.

Burd earned her bachelor's degree in marketing and master's degree in business administration at California University of Pennsylvania.

Social media marketing is something I like to do, and teaching is something I like to do, she said.
