#mustacheyoutoread (Join the campaign!)
It all began because Kearsten, the teen services librarian at Glendale Public Library in Arizona, Tweeted us a picture of a display she put together. More accurately, she came up with the idea and her teen volunteers helped her put the display together. It was simple really, but genius. Her teens held up a fake mustache and a copy of the book they recommended and the slogan was: We #mustacheyoutoread.
So now we are on a campaign and we need your help. We want to help these teens go viral. So join us on Twitter please. Tweet your book recommendations with the tag #mustacheyoutoread. Bonus points if you include a picture of yourself with a fake mustache and the book you are recommending. You can cut out paper mustaches or draw mustaches on your finger for the ever popular fingerstache. Please include an @GlendaleTeenLib so the teens will see it.

Here are some of their pics . . .
Join me in supporting these teens, pretty please. Tweet them today. You can find Kearsten on Twitter @Kearsten or here at the beginning of each month with her booktalks. Also, please leave them a comment. If you do Tweet them, you can copy and paste the link to your Tweet in the comments. Christie G. has been going to town with this and has a lot of fun pics. And this was obviously the inspiration for our TLT holiday card.
