Thank you.

They create the spaces where new anime fans enter the hobby. Viewers of all ages find new series, new genres, new interests at these clubs - all while fostering community, knowledge, and interest. The loss of a program like this doesn't just hurt libraries; it hurts the industry too.

Many people are hearing about things like what’s happening with the IMLS or book bans/challenges, but this stuff starts at the local level. Your commitment doesn’t have to be that big - often it’s like an hour or two a month. But it’s vital to have your voice heard lest someone else speak for you.

This looks really interesting, especially hearing it’s from the author and artist of Library Wars.

While IV is my personal favorite, I have to agree with you.
