Manga and wargaming at Wokingham borough's libraries
Imaginative young people will find plenty to attract them to two of Wokingham borough’ s libraries this summer – with a Manga Extravaganza and the Winnersh Gaming Club.
Japanese cartoon drawing, manga, has become increasingly popular and Wokingham Library holds a regular manga club for young aficionados and will host a free workshop on Friday August 15. The workshops will be in two sessions, from 10.30am to 12 midday and from 2pm to 3.30pm and will be for experts and beginners alike.
The workshop will cover basic manga drawing and drawing comic strips and participants will also be able to create a character for the library’s manga wall.
And, another popular activity for Wokingham young people, fantasy role-play gaming is on offer at Winnersh Gaming Club, which meets at Winnersh Library every Saturday from 10.30am to 12.30pm. Members, aged between 11 and 17, play games such as Warhammer 40K, Lord of the Rings and Warhammer Fantasy. No experience is necessary and all required equipment is provided. The sessions are £2 per player and places must be booked in advance from the library on 0118 974 7979.
Wokingham Borough Council executive member for community development Cllr Dianne King said: “Libraries have always been places to fire young people’s imaginations and activities such as manga and gaming fit into that tradition. The young people who come to the manga and gaming clubs stretch their imagination and develop their creativity and we hope to see more and more young people attending them.”
