The Harlem Shake in a library? Yes!

In the first Harlem Shake video to take place in a public library, that we know of, teens of the Far Rockaway community in Queens, NYC, decided to shake off their Superstorm Sandy woes by doing the Harlem Shake at their favorite hangout, the Queens Library for Teens.

Their only wish now? To go viral.

Show the teens some love, Tumblarians and library lovers, and give this post a reblog if you like what you see.

P.S. Notice the “All Returns” sign, library logo and library bags?

It has been months since Superstorm Sandy devastated the East Coast, and things are still far from back to normal in the Rockaways. At the Peninsula Library where I work as the manager, we served the community from a book bus for nearly two months. Priorities have changed several times since then, but the strong focus has always been on helping people in the area.

Will you rock red to raise HIV/AIDS awareness?

Today, hundreds of library customers and staff will travel to Albany to advocate for state funding for libraries. Supporters: Reblog this photo and sign the online petition.

These are just some of the reasons we’re advocating for libraries in Albany tomorrow. Can you add any more for us to share with state representatives?
