Movember has hit the Library!

The world of literature has given us some truly great moustaches.  Observe the wondrous examples of hirsuteness sported by Orwell, Shakespeare, Kipling, Hemingway, Conan Doyle, and Twain. 

Why am I looking at these authors, you ask? Because Movember has hit the Library this week and the library team is celebrating! For 30 days we'll get hairy, get active and get talking to help men live happier, healthier and longer lives. 

There are a few surprises around the library, with moustachioed librarian Mo Sistas (and one MoBro) and book covers adorned with facial hair. Come to the library and help us support those members of staff who are growing a moustache to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. Cast your vote for the best moustache!
