Manga Donation!

If you have noticed an increase in our manga collection this year, it's because I've been doing some creative collection development. Traditionally, libraries buy items on a regular schedule from their suppliers. We just don't have the money to invest in a great manga collection, so I've resorted to buying manga at thrift stores, sifting it out of donations to the book sale, and even taking ones that people bring in for book swap. But, our biggest increases have come from donations by older library teens/20-somethings who are cleaning out their collections. Tim M. and Caitlin C. have made some great contibutions to our teen manga section this year, and Tim has come through again! We are going to catalogue 13 installments of Bleach by Tite Kubo and 4 installments of Peach Girl by Miwa Ueda that he just donated. Thanks, Tim!!!
