Subject: Help YALSA raise awareness about libraries during Teen Read Week
Date: October 8th 2013

FYI,

Advocacy idea for Teen Read Week – I intend to do it while at the Bank Street Book Festival  – Sharon Rawlins, Youth Services Specialist, NJ State Library

 

In conjunction with Teen Read Week, YALSA has created an online campaign to raise awareness of the important role libraries play in helping teens develop and master critical literacy skills.  We need your help in getting the word out about it!  We are using a platform called Thunderclap to flood Twitter and Facebook with our ‘take action to support teen literacy & libraries’ message.  The Thunderclap allows people to pledge a Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook message that is unleashed at the same time.  It’s completely safe and will automatically post exactly one message on your behalf at 1pm, eastern, on Oct. 19.  The message has been pre-created by YALSA and says: “Teen Read Week is ur chance 2 support teen #literacy & #libraries! Check out these 10 easy ways 2 take action! http://ow.ly/pBXXy”

 

It takes 10 seconds to join the Thunderclap so you can send out the message—here’s how:

•             Click on this link http://thndr.it/GJ9MSd

•             Choose Twitter, Facebook and/or Tumblr

•             From the new screen, log into your Twitter, Facebook and/or Tumblr account

•             That’s it!  You can opt to share the Thunderclap with others (please do!), or just close the box

 

Please sign up for the Thunderclap by no later than noon, eastern, on Oct. 19th.  To learn more about Teen Read Week, visit www.ala.org/teenread.  Thanks for all that you do to help raise awareness about the important role libraries play in preparing teens for life after school!
