Express Yourself @ Largo Public Library!

Make sure you pick up your registration packet in the Teen Room for our Summer Reading Program. We have some great events planned again this year, and don't forget the prizes! This is your chance to show us your talent. Is it music? Maybe it's Photography? Do you like to Paint? Can you design new clothes from old ones? Come learn how!

So many people to thank!

With over 400 teens from all over Florida, we had another great convention this year. We want to thank everyone who came to help make it such a success. Every year you help us learn something new, and every year we grow to be something extraordinary. I hope everyone had as much fun as we did.

We want to thank the demonstrators, the vendors, the staff, the volunteers, and especially everyone who told a friend, got up at 6am on a Saturday morning or put on that costume just to make Tosho-con what it is. I think that would have to be everyone that walked in the door. Thanks!

What do we have for you on Saturday?

We have some old favorites, and some brand new surprises this year for Tosho-con.

East makes the scene!

Here is our new flier for Tosho-con, featuring the 2009 Mascots, for our East vs. West theme. Panals will have a lot to talk about, and there will be a new category for the costume contest for you American Graphic Novel fans. Of course, there will be a lot of your old favorite, and many new surprises to look forward to. Viewers choice will also feature more than anime.
This event is free, as always. Enjoy free contests, events, movies, debates, guest speakers, demonstrations and more. Pictures from previous events can be found in the teen room. You can also view the DVD scrapbook in the movie room.

Tosho-con would like you to meet...

West! As our mascot for the American Graphic Novel Superhero, we think our teen artist did an amazing job. Make sure to keep an eye out for East. He'll be making an appearance soon! It's not too late to be a part of the fun behind the scenes. We still have applications for volunteers. If you are available from 5 - 7pm every 3rd Tuesday of the month, we have 3 meetings left until the convention.

It's almost that time!

We're getting closer to prom night, and I wanted to give everyone a few hints of the events to come. Make sure you're ready for some trivia, the first 3 people with all the right answers will win prizes. We also have look-alike contests for Edward, Bella, Jacob and Alice. Make sure you sign up at the door if you wish to take part. You will be judged by the rest of the teens, so keep in mind, they will be judging you based on what they think those characters should look like, not necessarily the characters being portrayed in the movie. There will also be door prizes, music, dancing and food that should keep any vampire or werewolf from eying our guests. This event is open to teens, December 12th, from 5:30pm until 9:30pm. Costume, prom dress, or casual attire are all fine.
