We had a great turnout for the annual teen program, Manga Madness in January! Besides learning more about Japan, we got to meet others like us who  love all things Japanese.
We got a small taste of Japan, with our "bento box" snacks. We've all had ramen noodles before, but for some this was their first taste of tofu. It was surprisingly tasty!
	We also got to try our hand at a traditional Japanese craft by making an origami ball.   Later we got to test our knowledge of Japan by playing a game of Jeopardy. It's amazing how much you can learn by reading manga!   Everyone was so excited, we can wait until the next program.
January also brought more special storytime guests. Anthony waits patiently for Tiny Turtles Storytime to begin.
	Everyone was excited for a chance to pet Miss Kimberly's turtle friends.
Some seemed afraid to touch one of the box turtles. He was rescued from a dog, and had a cracked shell, but Miss Kimberly assured us he likes being petted.
