[ISLMA-Share] Anime Clubs

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We had a pretty successful one here for a bit. It was run by the librarian
from our public library (who came into the high school once a month,
brought snacks, and talked geek with a cluster a sweaty teenagers.) They
loved it. The club featured a different series each month and our high
school attempted to stock at least a few titles that they would be
discussing. (We added Black Butler based on manga club.) You really need to
find a sponsor who is a devotee to make this work. Kids can smell a fake a
mile away. That devotee could be you, with a lot of work; the whole genre
gives me a headache, however. You might ask around on your staff to see if
you have a teacher who's a fan already. (Not to dwell too much on
sterotypes, but in our school, it is skinny male English teachers, in their
early 20's and 30's).
