Summer vacation is approaching fast, but not fast enough for our patrons still in school. Final exam preparations are underway, not to mention standardized tests. It’s a busy time before the summer fun can begin, and sometimes we need a break.
Starting with this article, I will be covering various topics that are relevant to summer activities, with a specific focus on convention-related material. Throughout this month, stplbloggersouthslidell and I have collaborated on a series of articles showcasing some of the anime the library has to offer.
Titles with an asterisk (*) signify an item available on Hoopla. Hoopla's collection is subject to change every month. Titles available at the time of this article's publication may not be available in the future. Please contact your local library branch for more information.
So, let's jam!
