“It’s a little card that goes a loud way. Let your imagination sing at the library.” — Idina Menzel

“The library is where your imagination sings. Get your library card and ‘check it out’ today.” — Cara Mentzel

A “Loud Mouse” bookmark and an Idina poster promoting reading are also for sale on the American Library Association website. On that note, “Loud Mouse” promo is starting with a new interview in Publisher’s Weekly. Here’s a short excerpt:

You know, in some ways, I think I brought the what to the project—what do we want to achieve here? And she brought the how—how do we go about achieving that?

Mentzel: Dee makes it easy. She’s just naturally creative. She’s the one who thought Dee should be La, la, la, LA LOUD. It was also really rewarding to work together as professionals, not just sisters.
