Students often check out books to read for fun, and they have one consistent request: more comics and manga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give-N-Day<\/a> on Tuesday, March 18 will give the Ellender Memorial Library an opportunity to help fulfill that need and also promote our students\u2019 love of reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGive-N-Day is an opportunity to help us give our students what they want,\u201d said Andrew Barbier, Access Services Librarian and library Give-N-Day lead. \u201cA nice side benefit for the students is it can help them form a life-long love for reading.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Graphic novels and manga aren\u2019t just senseless fun, as they can touch on important topics and studies also help make reading books as a whole more habit forming. More information is in our previous article<\/a> on early giving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Early Giving, the library has already raised $145 of a $2,025 goal, which in total would purchase about 80 titles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On Give-N-Day, the library will host a 24-hour stream on Twitch<\/a>, \u201cThat Time I Got Reincarnated as a Streaming Librarian.\u201d The early giving stream, which unlocked the 24-hour Give-N-Day stream, featured games based on comics, so the Give-N-Day stream will feature games based on manga. Games included Armored Core 6, Fullmetal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, Sea of Stars, Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution, <\/em>and One Piece Pirate Warrior 4.<\/em> The stream team will include Andrew, library volunteer Johnny Shinnaberry, Library Specialist Jenna Bergeron, and Government Information Librarian Jessica Hawkes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give-N-Day includes some stretch goals, such as eating bugs on stream for $1,000, several book club operations including Jessica reading all of Ultimate Spider-Man<\/em> for $3,000, Library Director Brandy Burbante playing Mario Party 8 on stream for $3,500, and Andrew and Johnny getting manga or comic tattoos for $5,000. If Jessica fails to read all 189 issues of Ultimate Spider-Man<\/em>, she will have to teach Johnny and Andrew to play Wonderwall <\/em>on guitar. Johnny and Andrew also have consequences if they fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “While I’m looking forward to reading Ultimate Spider-Man<\/em>, it is going to be a challenge to get through before next Give-N-Day,” Jessica said. “We’ll have progress updates on our streams so you can check in on how we are doing on these goals.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n To participate in Give-N-Day, you can donate to Brandy\u2019s fundraiser link here<\/a>. If you want to keep up to date with the library\u2019s plans and goals, follow us on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The library will also be asking for recommendations on which comics and manga to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To recommend a graphic novel, fill out this form<\/a>.
