Manga Survey

There was a box by the manga section for the past couple of weeks asking what manga titles you would like to see come to the Teen Room at Georgetown. Here were the nominations:

Bleach, Hellsing, Black Bird, Naruto, Bakuman, Ultimo, Kekkaishi, Mär, Case Closed, Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo, Wallflower, Pink Innocent, Pretty Face, Ultra Maniac!, InuYasha, Kingdom Hearts, Tsubasa, Prince of Tennis, Peach Girl, Dragon Ball Z, Black Cat, Zombie Powder, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Rosario + Vampire, Shugo Chara, Ai Yori Aoshi, Avatar, Bride of the Water God, PeaceMaker, The Devil Within, Garfield

Thanks to everyone who put in a vote! :)

From the list - Bleach, Hellsing, Black Bird, Naruto, Kekkaishi, Mär, Case Closed, Pink Innocent, Wallflower, Ultra Maniac!, Kingdom Hearts, InuYasha, Tsubasa, Dragon Ball Z, Peach Girl, Zombie Powder, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Shugo Chara, and PeaceMaker we already own, though some series may be missing certain volumes. I am checking into ordering replacements for missing volumes for the series' which check out the most. If there is a certain volume you are looking for and you don't see it on the shelf, ask a librarian and we can see if we own that volume or if it's just checked out at the moment.

Garfield we own lots of, both in the Teen Room and in the Children's Section. They are kept with the comic books rather than the manga, but again, if you're looking for a specific one let us know and we can check to see if we own it.

Prince of Tennis we used to own but it did not circulate well so we sent our copies to the used bookstore at the Main Library to be sold.

The other titles are ones we do not currently own, and I will be checking into those in the next few weeks to see whether or not we can order them.

I really appreciate your suggestions and if you have any others please send me an email!

Changes in the Teen Room

There are some changes coming for the series section in the Teen Room. Here's what's up:

Pendragon, Bluford, and Hazelwood High will be removed from the series section and will be placed in the fiction section by author's last name. Circle of Magic/The Circle Opens and Sisters of Isis/Sons of Darkness will be leaving the room.

We will be adding Conspiracy 365, Pretty Little Liars, Babygirl Drama, Hunger Games, Chronicles of Vladimir Tod and books by Lurlene McDaniel to the series section.

The changes will be taking place for the next month or so as books come in and get re-labeled, so be sure to take a look at the new series shelves!
