The St. Joseph Public Library is participating in a campaign to get “Outside the Lines” this week. 

Director of the St. Joseph Public Library Mary Beth Revels said “Outside the Lines” is a weeklong celebration.

“It’s just a fun public relations campaign for libraries all over the world to do something different in their communities,” Revels said. “We take books to different locations throughout the community. All of the books have labels on them saying, ‘Hey, these are from the library. Come visit us at the library and get more books,’ and they also include bookmarks that tell people all about the services that are offered at the library.”

Revels said they will be leaving the books at about 35 locations this week including doctor’s offices, restaurants, gyms, senior centers and more.

“These are books that have been donated to us and we are re-sharing them,” Revels said. “It’s just a great way to say, ‘Hey, remember the library? If you haven’t been there for awhile, come see us.’”

The “Outside the Lines” campaign runs September 10-16. For more information on the St. Joseph Public Library, branch locations and activities this week, click here.
