Reading Mo (ments) in Movember

"Movember" is the month when it becomes fashionable for the male species to sprout and shape facial hair between their top lip and their nose. All for a good cause though...promoting men's health. Now, as our libraries are presently an all female affair, we were a bit stuck as to who could represent us for Movember... until our light bulb moment... Yes, you, all our male readers.
This is what we'd like you to do -
Grow and shape (or not) your mo
Come into the library and have your photo taken with your mo and one of your favourite books or,
Email your own photo to us at libweb@nsw.gov.au
You may also like to register at http://au.movember and collect a few sponsors
Now, this is all about having some fun and being part of the library community so...if you aren't hairy and don't want to grow a mo... get creative! We'll take drawn on mos, stuck on mos, hand held mos, we'll even have some props in the library to help so you can be included in our Reading Mo (ments)display.
We'll take photos until the last day of Movember so you've got 30 days to grow that mo!
Ad while your mo is growing, this month our New Books selection is just for guys, a great selection of male authors for you to borrow. Check out the library webpage and catalogue and reserve a few today.

October is #egoreads

Biographies, memoirs, lives. October is #egoreads.
I've been on a journey.
I love to explore.
I've stayed at home.
I've scored goals in stadiums.
I've scored chicks in stadiums.
I think that's funny.
I think you are funny.
I live amongst old people.
I ahve suffered.
I cry for my ilfe.
I wish his life had not been taken.
Oh, what a debonair life I have had.
And darling, what a grand life I have had.
And sadly, what a short life I have had.
For this life is one of many
I discover
I explore
I plunder
I abhor
I love
I adore
It's all about me, me me.
