The Library's MANGA Anime Club meets the second Tuesday of every month at 6:00pm in the Naomi Lane Room (upstairs). 

The group is open to tweens (ages 8-12), teens (ages 13-19), and adults. Anyone under the age of 18 must return a signed permission slip, available at the Library's Front Desk.  We watch the film together, enjoy Japanese or Japanese-inspired food, and review and discuss the film.

Future selections are chosen by the group, from the Library's collection, Operation Anime, or Right Stuf.  Operation Anime (FUNimation Productions, LTD.) and Right Stuf (RightStuf.com) have free anime club support programs.

The Teen Advisory Group (TAG) is open to teens, ages 13 to 19.  We meet for 1-2 hours on one Saturday each month, usually the third Saturday, to nosh pizza, nachos, ice cream, or other goodies, and to discuss books, movies, programming, and events for teens. 

Meetings are open to any interested teens.  Time spent in TAG meetings and during TAG projects and events does count as volunteer time. 

Visit our calendar for the next meeting date and come check it out!

The Albion District Library’s Teen Reads collection is available off the Adult Room on the main floor of the library.  Look for the comfy, plush chairs.  The collection includes a large, and growing, selection of fiction, non-fiction, manga, and magazines for teens. 

We also have a Teen Computer Lab on the basement level open only to teens (ages 13 to 19) from 4:00pm to 6:00pm Monday through Thursday and Saturday and Sunday 1:00pm to 5:00pm during the school year, with extended hours during vacation periods.  Call or ask at the Library’s front desk for more information.
