Greater Rochester Teen Book Festival is Looking for YOU!

The Greater Rochester Teen Book Festival is looking for you support! For those of you who may not know, TBF will be held on May 18, 2013 at Nazareth College in Rochester. TBF is FREE to attend. This year, 32 authors will be participating in a "game show", hosting break-out sessions and signing autographs.

This is how you can show your love for TBF--if you have a Facebook, follow us https://www.facebook.com/pages/Greater-Rochester-Teen-Book-Festival/165678353823?ref=hl

Rumor has it that if the TBF Facebook page gets 1500 likes by January 1, 2013, the librarians on the TBF Committee will dance Gangnam-style at the opening assembly. And, yes, this includes Mrs. Rouleau.

If you tweet, our Twitter is @TBFLive

And our tumblr is teenbookfestival.tumblr.com

Remember, this is not mandatory. I know many people are not on social media and that's fine.

Thanks for your support.
