Graphic-novel lovers are invited to come together by Zoom for the New Orleans Public Library’s Manga Book Club at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 26 to discuss the “My Hero Academia” series.
Attendees are encouraged to come in cosplay or bring fan art, and those who do will receive a prize.
"My Hero Academia" is a Japanese superhero manga series, written and illustrated by Kōhei Horikoshi, which follows the story of Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without superpowers (called Quirks) in a world where they have become commonplace. Midoriya dreams of becoming a superhero himself.
He is scouted by All Might, Japan's greatest hero, who chooses Midoriya as his successor and shares his powers with him, helping Midoriya to enroll in a prestigious high school for heroes in training. The story has been serialized since 2014 and has inspired an anime television series.
The library’s Manga Book Club is sponsored by the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library and is designed for ages 11-17. The club meets on the fourth Thursday of the month, through November.
WRITING WORKSHOP: Writers of all skill levels, styles and genres are invited to a Virtual Creative Writing Workshop on Aug. 28, hosted by Kathleen Balma, a Pushcart Prize-winning poet, Fulbright Fellow and New Orleans Public Library librarian
Writers participating in the Zoom meeting from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. will create, share, and critique original work while learning to develop their own voice.
For details and registration, email kbalma@nolalibrary.org or visit nolalibrary.org/events.
GET READY TO VOTE: Are you almost 18 and not yet registered to vote? Maybe you're younger and not sure why you should care? Tune into the library’s virtual program “What's voting got to do with you?” for insight on the importance of local elections with Antoinette Williams, a graduate of McDonough 35 High School and Xavier University who ran for school board when she was 21.
This virtual panel is intended for ages 11-17 to discuss how each elected office affects everyone, even those younger than voting age. Participants will leave with ideas about how to advocate for change regardless of age. Email mfleming@nolalibrary.org with questions. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library.
TEEN ADVISORY BOARD: Teens are encouraged to make their voices heard by joining the New Orleans Public Library’s Teen Advisory Board. The library is seeking students in grades 6 through 12 to share their thoughts about how the New Orleans Public Library can better serve them, through programming, products, materials and more.
Interested students can apply at teens.nolalibrary.org and then tune in for an introductory meeting Sept. 21 at 4 p.m. on Zoom.
The Teen Advisory Board is sponsored by the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library and organized by the library’s Teen Programming Team. For more information, contact Caitlin Young at cmyoung@nolalibrary.org or (504) 596-3101.
ART INSTALLATION: A new art installation by local artist Marta Rodriguez Maleck is on display at the New Orleans Public Library’s Main Library, located at 219 Loyola Ave. The piece, titled “Vivir es Morir,” or “To Live is to Die,” combines sculpture and audio and invites visitors to climb up, sit down, read and listen to themes exploring death and rebirth.
Featuring recordings of about 45 voices, the work asks visitors to consider what beliefs, systems, relationships and institutions need to be reimagined in order for communities to thrive.
Dr. Gabriel Morley is director of the New Orleans Public Library.
