We #Mustacheyoutoread At The Library… A Pictorial
In case you missed how this all started, take a look at Karen’s post. I happen to work in a library where we have a ton of kids, and the day I started playing around with it was the middle of our week of Thanksgiving break. I knew that mustaches were popular and am very familiar with Movember, which uses sponsorships to raise funds for prostate and testicular cancer research. Little did I know that my kids would get such a kick out of it.
Knowing that I had a ton of kids, I printed off a set of free mustaches off of the internet (google is your friend) and ran them off on card stock. Since my kids run all ages, I didn’t want to have them on sticks like Karen did (Miss, he poked me with his stach!) so I’ve just been using clear tape. The kids have to pick a book they would give to someone else to read, I take their picture, and they keep the ‘stach. And they KEEP them on all day, including the teens.
