Animanga Club Birthday Party

The Coshocton Public Library Animanga Club is 2 years old this month! We will celebrate with a slide show of our events, learning to write kanji with brush and ink on rice paper, and of course, have a birthday cake!

If you are a manga or anima fan, you will enjoy sharing your interest with fellow fans. Club members get first dibs on new manga and anime and preview anime, advise me on what series to buy for the collection, and learn all kinds of things about Japanese culture.

When: Wednesday, April 8, 2008, 5-7 pm
Where: coshocton Public Library large meeting room

Reminder

RoseMary — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:51:00 +0000

We are using the outside entrance to the meeting room for Plugged and Unplugged. It is located by the side parking lot.

This will help reduce the noise and commotion for our other patrons.

Thanks!
