The club's goal will be to meet at least twice a month to partake in activities such as manga book talks, anime viewings, genre related games, and other activities as suggested by club members. We also intend to emphasize reading through watching English sub-titled anime and increasing the awareness of DC Public Library manga.

Join us during the final month of Woodridge Library at 1801 Hamlin St. NE before our move to the nearby interim location at 18th & Douglas in January 2014. Also, feel free to browse the popular manga titles below which are available at the Woodridge Library.

Book That Shaped Me sponsored by the Library of Congress

Published on Tuesday, July 30, 2013

A book writing at a deskBooks have the power to shape us by changing the way we think and feel. Think about a book that made a difference in your life. Did it change the way you see yourself? Your family? A classmate? The world?

The Book that Shaped Me Writing Contest, sponsored by the Library of Congress, challenges rising fifth- and sixth-graders to write a one-page essay about how the book had an impact on their life. Last year, a Woodridge Library patron wrote: "To me a good book is like bacon, the thicker the better." This year, this quote is featured on the contest's promotional bookmarks!
