GAME NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No movie!

Sorry for the spotty updates everybody, things have been chaotic. Just in case you didn't get the message yet, there is no movie night for May, so don't bother coming to the library tonight. But guess what! I've got a game night in store for you right after school lets out so you've got an awesome way to celebrate the end of this school year.

Friday, June 4th from 5 to 10PM we'll be having a gaming marathon! There will be food (yes, that means pizza) and drink, and not only that, once again there will be prizes! Yes, be entered to win a gift card to Game Stop just for coming to the marathon! And win gift cards by winning game tournaments!

And for the first time ever, we're going to have karaoke set up. I'll have some anime karaoke cds, but if you have your own music or karaoke cds, you can bring 'em and show us your talent!

You know the rules: bring your system but make sure you mark everything that's yours. The Irving Public Library does not accept responsibility for lost or damaged items. By bringing your game or system you are allowing other people the right to play it: that means equal time for all. Normal rules of behavior will apply, meaning you must abide by all the library rules. After the building closes, you may exit but there will be no re-entry

This means there will be three anime club events this month so hopefully you guys won't have to sit around being massively bored at home like usual.

Movie Night is back!

Yes folks, that's right, we'll be showing a movie this Thursday night (the 22nd) at 7PM in the auditorium. I've got a little show called "Le Portrait de Petit Cossette", a nice and creepy OVA series which happens to involve murder, possessions, evil spirits, and a weird little girl. Lots of screaming and blood everywhere! In other words, everything you want from a movie for Halloween! Extra snacks for anybody who comes in costume! We'll see you there

Naruto Shippuden on Disney XD

For those of you who have been wondering when and where Shippuden would make its appearance on TV in the US, the answer is the Disney XD channel. Hopefully you get that channel! And if you don't, of course you can watch the streaming subs online a mere day after they are aired in Japan. Read the article for more information.

Big Read: Teen POEster Contest

Hey everybody, I wanted to let you know about a nifty art contest the library is running to go along with this year's Big Read. It's Edgar Allan Poe-themed so you can do lots of cool stuff like skulls, blood, crows and whatnot. Anyway, if you're interested, read the message from Allison below (the Library's diligent Teen Librarian) and the attachment. It'd be awesome for somebody to do some Poe-themed work in anime style.

Hello everyone,To get a jumpstart on the Big Read activities, we started our Teen POEster Contest on Tuesday, September 1. All contest entries will be displayed throughout the library during September and October to promote the Big Read and this year's author, Edgar Allan Poe. I have attached a copy of the entry form and guidelines. Please post these in your teen areas. If you need copies for your teens to pick up, please let me know and I will make sure you get some. The contest ends on Saturday, October 17. Winners will be selected the following Saturday by local graphic artist, Bill Fountain, after his Teen Graphic Novel Workshop on October 24 at Central. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. And thank you for helping promote this year's Big Read. Allison

And here's the entry form.
