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!

The Indiana State Library (ISL) will be hosting its Interlibrary Loan Spring Workshop on Monday, April 20, 2015. The session which will be held in the History Reference Room 211 is from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Presentations will cover basic searching skills using OCLC FirstSearch and how to select the best record for interlibrary loan, as well as how to use the ISL Book Club list effectively. Come hear about some of the exciting new opportunities coming to IN-SHARE, InfoExpress and more.
This workshop is worth 2 LEUs or contact hours and is designed for staff that is new to ILL, as well as those who will not be able to attend the Discovery to Delivery VI Conference in May.
On the morning of April 20, the Indianapolis Public Library (IPL) will be hosting its Non-Profit Day at their Book sale between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. at the IPL Services Center located at 2450 N Meridian Street, in Indianapolis.
Once again, the ISL will be hosting a no cost shipping service for participants who subscribe to InfoExpress. Just bring the materials you select to the table and ISL staff will have them shipped to your library using InfoExpress.
Interested libraries are asked to pre-register so we can be ready to ship your materials.
Registration for both events is available on the ISL April calendar.

This story is from the ISL blog:
The Genealogy Division at the Indiana State Library does not collect just published books and materials. They also have a small but growing collection of genealogy manuscripts. These collections contain family papers, research notes, and other items that cannot be put out on the shelves due to their fragile state or because they are boxes of loose papers.

What better way to honor outstanding students who are taking advantage of #STEM education than by honoring them in the 2015 Mr. and Miss Math and Mr. and Miss Science awards? Governor Pence recently announced that nominations are now being accepted for these awards and that four winners will receive $1,000 college scholarships through Indiana’s CollegeChoice 529 Direct Savings Plan. These awards honor students who are excelling in science, technology, engineering, and math, and who will hopefully pursue a career in one of these fields.
If you are a student or know a student who meets this criteria, please fill out an application here.
Applications are due on April 19, 2015 before 6:00 p.m. Indiana’s future looks brighter when younger generations are prepared for the most in-demand jobs in our state.

professionals have the opportunity to interact with government professional as
