If you have been following any of the library's social media accounts during the last month, you may have noticed our #persistentlibrarian campaign to get Pat McAfee to come to do a program here at the library.  Staff members were encouraged to like and repost these posts in hopes of getting his attention.  If you are on Facebook and Twitter, reposting is very easy.  But as far as we knew, it couldn't be done on Instagram.  That was until one of our staff members found the InstaRepost app.  It is very easy to use.  All you need to do is download the app.  Once you find a picture to repost, you need to click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the picture.  Once you do that you need to click on "Copy Share URL"

You then click on "Repost now"

Then click on the green "Repost" button and then proceed to post as you normally do to Instagram.

And when you are done your post should look like this:

One thing to note.  InstaRepost will not repost hashtags or comments included in the original post.  So if you want them added, you will need to manually put them in while you you are doing the posting procedure in Instagram.

So the next time you see a post on Instagram you would like to repost, give InstaRepost a try.
