WALTHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY GETS OUTSIDE THE LINES
National Initiative Aims to Shift Public Perception of Libraries
WALTHAM, Mass.– Waltham Public Library announces its participation in Outside the Lines, a bold campaign designed to reintroduce the library to the Waltham community and get people thinking – and talking – about the library in a whole new way. Outside the Lines is a weeklong celebration, Sept. 13-19, 2015, demonstrating the creativity and innovation in libraries.
During Outside the Lines, participating organizations from across the world will host either an event or campaign that helps people understand how libraries have changed into dynamic centers for engagement, and how they are more relevant than ever to people’s lives.

ABOUT OUTSIDE THE LINES
Outside the Lines is a global R-Squared initiative originally designed by Colorado library marketers and directors that gets libraries “walking the walk” – taking action to show communities how important libraries are and how they’ve changed. This weeklong international celebration takes place Sept. 13-19, 2015. Outside the Lines takes many of the concepts discussed at R-Squared, The Risk & Reward Conference, such as creativity, customer curiosity, culture, community and creative spaces, and puts them into action where they count – in our local communities.
