Wood Library

Don't forget about Wood Library when it comes to Anime! Watch The Girl Who Leapt Through Time on Thursday, December 16 from 6-8 PM at Wood Library's temporary location at 5263 Parkside Dr. (across from Tom Wahl's). Makoto Konno regards herself as a normal high-school student. She's smart, but not brilliant; a little clumsy, but not a klutz; well-liked, but not a social star. Her favorite pastime is playing baseball with her best friends: handsome, studious Kosuke Tsuda and shaggy, offbeat Chiaki Mamiya. When Makoto nearly loses her life in a bicycle accident, she escapes by moving back through time. Her aunt tells her the talent isn't unusual in girls her age, and Makoto begins exploiting her ability. But her efforts to improve the present backfire, making school, friendship, and romance even more complicated and difficult--until she discovers a surprising secret about Chiaki. Prizes given away. Snacks provided too. Recommended for ages 13+. Contact Jenny Goodemote at 394-1381 or jgoodemote@pls-net.org for more info.
