If you are wondering where the Bradley Beach Public Library got the idea to buy all these great new manga titles, well you can thank our own Kyel Guerrero of 7S. Back in February, Karin Finnegan, the library’s director of children’s services, asked Mrs. Sucato for a list of manga titles that she would recommend for middle schoolers. So Mrs. Sucato asked Kyel, an avid reader, manga fan, and library member, to put together a list. “He is my go-to guy this year for talking about manga. He knows a lot!” Mrs. Sucato said. Mrs. Finnegan bought all the titles on the list, and they became the foundation of the library’s growing manga and graphic novels collection. Thanks, Kyel!
