YA March Madness Returns!

Hey everyone! It's time for March Madness again!

If you'll remember, last year we voted on the best YA book, and y'all chose The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This year we're switching it up with a Heroes and Villains Showdown.

One one side of the bracket we have 8 heroes, on the other side 8 villains. Each week 2 heroes and 2 villains will be pitted against each other until we have the Ultimate Hero vs. the Ultimate Villain to see who wins and who falls.

This week the contenders are*:

Heroes

Katsa vs. Clary Fray

Percy Jackson vs. Ichigo

Maximum Ride
vs. Katniss Everdeen

Scott Pilgrim vs. Eragon

Villains

Voldemort vs. Artemis Fowl

Galbatorix vs. Mrs. Coulter

Valentine Morgenstern
vs. Saint Dane

Duke Roger vs. Kronos

The ballots are available in the library on the back side of the large black display wall (you can't miss it!), so come out and vote for your favorites!

Zaki Con 2019: Cosplay Contest!

The final event  of Zaki Con is our cosplay contest. I assume you're familiar with cosplay if you're reading, but just in case you aren't: cosplay is " the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime." And anyone can do it! Young and old alike are adorable when dressing as their favorite characters from books, movies, and anime! At Zaki Con, we want to see your interpretation of cosplay! You can enter as one person or as a group (though groups will have to share prizes if they win). All you have to do is come dressed as your favorite character. Since Zaki Con is a family event and it is held in the public library, all costumes must be appropriate for our setting and audience! Entries will be judged by a panel of judges from the library and the community. We look forward to seeing your cosplays during the Con and at the contest which will be held at 5:00pm on Saturda

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

 1. Gather supplies.  2. Unwrap one length of duct tape and carefully set plastic bag on top. Go slowly so there are no air bubbles in the duct tape! 3. Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did. Trim sides so everything is even.  6. Optional, if you want to store your pencil bag in your binder, mark where the rings are located. 6. Use a hole punch to make holes. 7. Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!
