Libraries Find Creative Ways to Color Outside the Lines

During the week of Sept. 13 to 19, 2015, more than 270 libraries across the U.S. and Canada (and even one from Australia) participated in an aggressive PR campaign to break down negative perceptions and celebrate “the innovation and creativity happening in libraries” today. This is the second year that all types of libraries reached out “to their communities in new and engaging ways,” with the shared event Outside the Lines. Its motto is “Libraries Reintroduced,” and it is “a weeklong celebration to reconnect you with the creativity, technology, discovery and all of the fun and unexpected experiences happening in libraries today—think: 3D printers, ebooks, woodworking classes, personal job search help, laptop checkouts, biz incubators, seed libraries, recording studios … the list goes on.” (Rest of article from Nancy K.
