Animania at Parklands-Turner!

April ushered in the first gathering of the Parklands-Turner anime club, the Animaniacs! To celebrate, we have compiled three popular anime titles, that also have their own manga series as well. If you're new to the world of Japanese animation, have no fear! Anime is simply hand-written or computer-drawn animation that originates from Japan, and manga is the print, comic book style version of those stories. Read about these titles, and who knows, maybe you'll find a favorite of your own!

Quilting is a form of sewing that involves joining three layers of fabric together to make a three-dimensional padded surface. This form of fiber art is used in a variety of ways, ranging from carefully pieced bedspreads to humble pot holders.
