Here's a great opportunity to take part in a national campaign promoting how libraries have changed by engaging with their local community! What is Outside the Lines? Inspired by the urgent need to shift perceptions of libraries, a group of Colorado library marketers and directors have developed a bold, new campaign that reintroduces libraries to their communities and gets people thinking - and talking - about these organizations in a whole new way. Outside the Lines is a weeklong celebration demonstrating the creativity and innovation happening in libraries. First launched in September of 2014, Outside the Lines returns this Sept. 13-19, 2015. During last year's OTL, more than 175 participating library organizations from across the United States and Canada reintroduced themselves to their communities in many creative and meaningful ways such as: * leading community members on a nature hike * handing out gift-wrapped bestsellers on Main Street * bringing a warm cup of coffee to folks at the Laundromat Interested in participating or just want to learn more? You are invited to join a special webinar to connect, ask questions and learn best practices from last year's participants. We'll cover a variety of topics from brainstorming relevant OTL ideas to rallying your staff. Session offered via Adobe Connect at http://connect.enetcolorado.org/librarycommunity/. No registration necessary. Visit the website and sign up for more information: http://getoutsidethelines.org/ -- if you know you're already interested, you can follow their Facebook page to brainstorm on possible ideas for the 2015 campaign at: https://www.facebook.com/GetOutsideTheLines Cheers, Darci ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Darci Hanning * Technology Development Consultant Library Support and Development Services * Oregon State Library 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 503-378-2527 darci.hanning at state.or.us FOLLOW US: [facebookSmall.png] [http://www.thewwwblog.com/images/blogger-logo.jpg] [Picture] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
