Down the street at the Bainbridge Public Library, the Anime Club resumes monthly meetings/movie screenings on Friday September 23rd at 3:00 p.m. Also be sure to check out the new enclosed teen area in the library, upstairs where the manga books are.

Poll: What's your favorite manga book in the library collection? Results will be published here.

Let the Manga continue! Our first sponsor is funding three more sessions with Wendy before summer. They will be on May 6, 13 and 20 from 8-10 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club. We will focus on making a collaborative mini-manga book to completely draw, ink and publish in 3 weeks! This is a team project with something for everyone: layout, drawing, writing, inking, screen-toning, lettering. If you've been waiting for a good time to join in the fun on Friday nights, this is your opportunity!

Starting in the Fall, the Manga & Anime Art Club will offer an earlier Friday night session for Sakai and middle-school students in 5th and 6th grade. The teens (13+ only) session will continue to be run from 8-10 p.m. To sign up in advance, contact wendy@animatedadventures.com.

Issue No. 1 is Done!
Check it out. It is in PDF format, which means you might have to download either the Adobe Acrobat reader or the Acrobat plug-in for your browser--both are free. Try the link first, though.
