MTAC Successes of 2009!

2009 was a great year for MLS Teen Anime Club! Here are just some of the amazing things we contributed to the Mississauga Library System:

-More than 25 new graphic novel/manga titles were selected for addition to the Mississauga Library System's collection thanks to the MTAC members! As of right now, S. A., Air Gear, and Hayate the Combat Butler are just a few of the new titles you can find in the Mississauga Library Catalogue thanks to MTAC.

-MTAC members volunteered their time to help build a successful haunted house for the Central Library Children Services' Halloween event.

-MTAC members brought with them a lot of enthusiasm at the Mississauga Book Fair to promote the MLS Teen Anime Club to other teens, as well as entertaining crowds with their dance performances.

-Our growing numbers in the club allowed us to screen new Anime titles at the Central Library's Noel Ryan Auditorium thanks to our friends at Operation Anime of FUNimation Entertainment.

I'd like to thank our very active members (in no particular order): Niki, Olivia, Kasia, Liz Z, Cianna, Carla, Angelie, Reuben, Celina, Daryll, Kyosha, Kaye, Keney, Rycka, Michelle S, "DJ" aka David, and Jessica Ferreira of the Courtney Park Library for making this one awesome Otaku club! Let's make 2010 an even better year!
