Fandom Fridays!

Wednesday, Sep 24, 2014 at 7:35pm

SASKATOON- Hey there Fans of all things Fandom! If you're a middle and/or teen reader with a thirst for following the things you love, this is for you! Whether a seasoned fandom veteran or a novice looking for a place to get their fandom feet wet, this is the place to discuss all things Fandom**!

**Fandom: (consisting of fan [fanatic] plus the suffix -dom, as in kingdom) is a term that refers to a microcosm of people who are fans of a fiction genre. Apparently Fandom can be traced back to the 1930's! Who knew? It can also be characterized by a feeling of empathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest. If you are an avid fan and follower of books, movies, television shows, comics, and/or anime, (etc.), chances are, you may already be a part of Fandom culture!

Hosted by our very own Fandom Guru, Tressa, you can expect an excellent evening and a chance to meet, hang out, play games, and participate in Fandom-related activities! We will be discussing a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, fanfiction, cosplay, fan subculture, fan-created meta, and all things fandom related!

So feel free to join us every Friday at 7:00pm. Groups are always welcome!

Check out our excellent new Tumblr page, mcnallyfandomfridays.tumblr.com

For more info, call the kids desk (306)-955-1477

There is a $5.00 drop in charge to help cover the cost of refreshments/goodies (Mmmmmm! nom nom nom)

Be First Reading Club: The Death of Us

Thursday, Sep 04, 2014 at 2:43pm

Hey there Saskatoon Teen Book Fans! Have you ever wanted to be an industry insider and read books before they've even been published? How about meet up with an author to talk about their soon-to-be-published novel?

Now's your chance! Join us tonight at 7pm and you'll receive an advanced copy of Alice Kuipers' new novel The Death of Us! We also have the unique opportunity to discuss the novel with the author herself, as Alice Kuipers will be in attendance!

Come join our Be First Reading Club, a teen book club with a twist! We are always looking for interested members and copies are limited, so sign on up!

Looking Ahead ...

Our next session will be Amy Nichols book, Now That You're Here! What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in another persons body? ... or wait. It's your own body but ... in a parallel universe?! Read about Evee and Danny as they question who they are or who they could be in another place and time. Better yet, read about them before they're even published!

Groups welcome!

For more info, call the kids desk at (306)-955-1477
