The Milwaukee Public Library unveiled a new ad campaign urging readers to step away from their computer screens and mobile phones. Using social media logos as inspiration, each billboard puts a clever spin on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter. The message is loud and clear: let’s spend more time reading and less time updating our status, tweeting, and watching videos online.
