Anime Clubs for Public Libraries: A Practical Guide for Librarians - Paperback

Chantale Pard received her Master's in Library and Information Science at Western University in 2013. She held positions in a variety of different library settings before settling in at Halifax Public Libraries, where she has been the Youth Services Librarian at Keshen Goodman Public Library for more than 6 years. It is here where she leads a busy and successful team of youth programmers through a variety of classic and pop culture programs at one of the busiest and biggest public libraries in the Maritime provinces. She also runs Keshen Goodman's popular and established Anime Club, which means she is often sought after for advice on anime-themed library programming. This is Chantale's second book for the Practical Guides for Librarians series, her first being No. 48: STEM Programming for All Ages (2018). She is currently a PhD student in the Library and Information Science program at Western University, and hopes to research the information practices of fan communities and the ways in which they relate to public libraries.
