Hi

As you might have heard (especially if you read our last blog entry), tonight the Central Library is hosting the ReCon event, for local manga and anime fans.  As someone who knows the terms, but has never read a manga book, I'm very grateful to Kitty for writing the last blog for me - if I'd written it you'd probably be non-the-wiser as to what manga is!

Anyway, library staff have been very busy preparing for the event for the last few weeks, and we are delighted to be able to say that as of yesterday (Wednesday) morning, it is totally sold out - so apologies to anyone who hasn't been able to get a ticket.  We just have to put the final arrangements in place this afternoon, so if you are in the Central Library after about 4pm you might notice us moving some of the furniture around - hopefully there won't be too much disruption.

We've got a fab evening planned, with cosplay, art competitions, quizzes, and the most recent Nintendo games, all sitting alongside some of the latest manga titles for you to borrow.  Then on Monday I'll be bringing you a full review of the evening, along with photos of some of the things that we got up to.  So if you want to see some of the artwork that participants created, and some of the cosplay costumes that they were wearing then you know where to come.  And if you have got a ticket, then I'll see you tonight!

Have fun!
