If you have any of the Sonic graphic novels or DVD’s they can be used and you could ask a patron that likes Sonic to bring in old game cartridges and packaging.

AMV of the Week
This week’s AMV comes from YouTuber iloveheroes. This individual took images from the Fullmetal Panic! anime and edited them to the song “Kiss the Girl” performed by Ashley Tisdale. There are a few pixelated parts, but it doesn’t distract from the viewing. I right there along with iloveheroes, I love the two leads of the anime (Souske & Chidori) and when ever I see them I get a smile on my face because the story is so much fun. If you want to find the AMV on YouTube it is under the tag “Full Metal Panic – Kiss The Girl” or you can check it out below. It was a fun video iloveheroes, great job.
