How Anime Afternoon works
Since somebody asked in the comments, I will let you know how Anime Afternoon is run.
There is no charge for anything.
It runs from 4pm to midnight on Saturday, Oct 30.
We will have around a hundred Anime titles available! Most are owned by the library system, some are on loan from the private collections of participants.
We try to keep to anime rated for 13-14 year olds up till 8pm. After that, we need any younger kids to go, because we allow people to choose programs with more mature content.
We draw names, and the person whose name is picked gets to choose the next title we watch. There will be food and soda available. We have door prizes, but it's small stuff--second-hand mangas, stickers, library discarded DVDs, back issues of Shonen Jump, that sort of thing. There is no charge of any sort for anything, although donations of any sort are always welcome!
We encourage cosplaying (dressing up as an anime character!)
I hope that answers any questions! If not, call us at the library-- 920-833-2725 -- and ask for Colette!

Anime! Anime! Anime! :D
I'm very excited about our second Anime Halloween! We will have more anime titles available than ever before! Not only have several other libraries added new titles, so have we, including the highly popular Hetalia: Axis Powers and the football comedy, Eyeshield 21. We will have curry rice and Taiyaki and Pocky, as usual. :)
If there is enough interest, we may do an Anime Christmas event...not as long and grueling, though. Maybe show Tokyo Godfathers and the Love Hina Christmas movie, and a couple of Christmas-themed anime episodes.
One note on attending our Anime event this October 30th: Most of our programs are rated for age 13 and up. But not all. In the evening we allow people to choose more mature programs to watch, closer to Rated R/ TV-MA. Anyone under the age of at least 13 should be heading home by 8.

Movie lineup change
We're changing the Oct 1 movie from Free Willy to...ugh, not allowed to advertise titles. But it's a Disney action movie that takes place in ancient Persia.
PG-13, for intense violence and action. (Lots of sword-fighting!)

Star Trek returns to shelves
If anyone heard the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the missing Star Trek DVDs, I would just like to announce that they have been found. They were apparently put in the wrong package...

Outdoor Movie was a success!
Thanks, everyone who came to the outdoor movie and made it such a success! We had between 40 and 50 people, the weather was pleasant, the movie was fun, and the mosquitoes were bearable. We watched Diary of a Wimpy Kid! A good time was had by all.
I've added the provisional lineup of new Friday movies! We are currently at a slow time of year for new releases, so September 3 we will feature a star-studded favorite of mine: rated PG, and may be slightly scary for very young kids. It is a time-traveling comedy directed by Terry Gilliam, with roles played by some of the Monty Python actors, including John Cleese, and also features Sean Connery, Ian Holm and Shelley DuVal. Star Wars fans might be interested in this trivia: two actors in the film also appeared in costume in the Star Wars original trilogy: Kenny Baker, the man inside the original R2D2, and Jack Purvis, who played a Jawa and an Ewok.
