[Coe, Erica]

Good point, Lauri.    We have Opening Days that week so our librarians will be working but the Library will still be closed.   We are partnering with Kitsap Regional Library on some activities that week that will take place in the community.

Thanks,
Erica

Thank you Erica, this does look fun and interesting. The challenge for our library, and perhaps others in the system, is that the week these events are scheduled are during our quarter break before fall quarter. Our librarians are not contracted to work during that time and few people are on campus.

Hi all,

Have you heard of this initiative yet?  Olympic College has joined and it would be great to have other CTCs in the state involved.

Outside the Lines

http://www.getoutsidethelines.org/

Sept. 11-17, 2016

Libraries are dynamic centers for engagement that help everyone in your local community be their best. To shift perceptions, we need to demonstrate how the library is more relevant than ever before.

Let’s not just tell people how libraries have changed; let’s show them.

Outside the Lines is a weeklong celebration demonstrating the creativity and innovation happening in libraries. Whether your organization is large or small, a school library or a public library, you can participate by hosting at least one event or campaign that:


1.       Gets people thinking – and talking – about libraries in a different way.

2.       Showcases the library out in the community as well as in the library.

3.       Highlights how your library is relevant to people’s lives.

4.       Represents your local community.

5.       Is active versus passive – gets people engaged.

6.       Is extraordinary and unexpected.

7.       Most importantly, is fun!


Thanks,
Erica
