Once a month, teens gather at the library for anime club. We meet for about an hour, and that includes sharing the latest manga or graphic novels purchased (by them or by the library), showcasing drawings or sketches, making any anime- or manga-related announcements and then watching and evaluating an anime.
Generally, we watch things that haven't been marketed yet, using a couple of anime programs through video companies, but all things shown received permission. Teens had to be 13 to join, and all were logged into a listserv created to keep members up-to-date on events.

Occassionally, we'll have extra programs related to Japan or Japanese things, like a class to learn to write in Japanese or a session to play a new card game based on FullMetal Alchemist, and these teens are invited to sign up first.
