[MCN-L] Join #ColorOurCollections

[Emily Miranker]

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!
