Youth take over the library

Saturday October 15th from 2:30-5:00 pm. Local new bands will raise the noise levels of a quiet Saturday afternoon at the library while teenagers enjoy a range of activities. Try your hand at cartooning - a cartoon workshop run by Joanne Brooker owner of Purple Spider Studio, and member of Artists without Frontiers. There'll be theatre games, with director and acting teacher Mary Anne Vale from TheatreS in Noosaville, young rappers, songwriters, and poets. While that's all happening, a great exhibit of Manga titles will be available to choose for the library collection. Manga is more than just comics, and the art and literary form originated in Japan, where even WANTED posters and Government publications now come in manga format! The manga books we know have spread worldwide - the biggest other than English language being French, Portuguese and Italian. Funny pictures just seem to need no translation!
