Hi everyone,
Have you heard of #ColorOurCollections? Now in its third
year, #ColorOurCollections is a week-long library & special collections
coloring fest on social media!
From February 5-9, 2018, libraries, archives, and other
cultural
institutions around the world are sharing free coloring sheets and books
based on materials in their collections. All content is sourced from the
collections of participating institutions. With participants from around
the globe, this campaign offers an opportunity to explore the vast and
varied offerings of the library world, without geographical constraints.
Last year’s campaign included over a hundred institutions and featured
coloring sheets based on children’s classics, natural histories,
botanicals, anatomical atlases, university yearbooks, patents, and more.
Want to participate? Create a coloring book and register at
colorourcollections.org! Tips for creating the perfect coloring book are
on the site. Please register and submit your coloring book by *January 31,
2018*. New content will not go live until the campaign week starts, but
early submissions are greatly appreciated!
Please help us spread the word, sign up if you are participating, and let
us know if you have any questions or problems.
We’re looking forward to it!
