After our discussion, teens aged 13 – 17 will have a chance to play a round of Anime Character Bingo along with snacks provided by the library. Signing up is encouraged.
In a society filled with superpowers, evil has become anything but ordinary. Licensed heroes protect the public from supervillains, but not everyone can be a hero. Some choose to fight for justice in the shadows, known as vigilantes. Koichi Haimawari, unable to become an official hero, uses his modest Quirk to help others in his spare time. A chance encounter with local thugs leads him to join forces with two unlikely companions. Together, they bravely attempt to combat evil, only to realize that fighting it requires more than just courage.

Join others at the Wilson Public Library for a monthly book club on Thursday, July 31st at 5:30 PM. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book selection is “Starter Villain” by John Scalzi.
Charlie, a divorced substitute teacher living with his cat, dreams of opening a downtown pub. His life takes a turn when his long-lost uncle Jake leaves him his supervillain business, complete with a volcano lair. But the transition to villainy isn’t easy; Jake’s enemies—wealthy, ruthless foes supported by corporations—are after him. With the help of unionized dolphins, a hyper-intelligent spy cat, and a fierce henchperson, Charlie must fight back. In a dog-eat-dog world, he learns that sometimes, it’s better to be a cat.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Wilson Public Library at 1087 US Hwy. 70A in Wilson or call (580) 668-2486. The Wilson Public Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
