While her style is inimitably her own, Chast's story of aging parents will resonate with many. In four-color cartoon panels, photos, and text, Chast, a New Yorker contributor since 1978 and the author/illustrator of a dozen books, recounts her life with a needy father and strong-willed mother and faces their mental and physical deterioration with wit and honesty. (Bloomsbury)
Kalman, illustrator of many books for adults and children as well as The New Yorker magazine, recounts the third president's many achievements without claiming that he was perfect. Among Jefferson's shortcomings: owning slaves and disparaging Native Americans, despite preaching equality. Ages 5 – 8. (Nancy Paulsen)
This event has been rescheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, May 10 at Takoma Park Library.

About DC Anime Club:
DCAC was established in 2003 to introduce and educate people in the Washington, DC area about East Asian culture, through viewing and discussion of Japanese animation (also known as anime) and Japanese comics (manga). DCAC is a 501(c) (3) not for profit organization, contributions to DC Anime Club are taxed deductible to the extent allowable under the law.
The club also works to provide a positive, alternative activity to the youth in the area by exposing them to foreign culture, encouraging artistic expression and creativity, and providing opportunities for participation in community activities and leadership.
In addition to our bi-weekly meetings, the club holds an Annual Art Show, an Annual Costume fundraising event, and visits local schools to do presentations on anime. The club also works with the Smithsonian Freer Gallery and DC Asian Pacific American Film Festival on their anime screenings, and has helped locally promote performances for Japanese bands such as Puffy Ami Yumi and Pine am. DC Anime Club was founded by Chris Wanamaker (President), Jules Chang (Former Vice President) and Craig Vaughn (Vice President) on Saturday June 5, 2003. We have a strong membership that continues to grow -- most of which are teenagers.

Roboy No.1 – Written by Brandon Easton, Aiden Cross looks like your average 12 year old boy, he's a video game pro, and unbeatable at kickball. Thing is Aiden isn't like other boys his age; he has super strength, can talk with computers and has glowing circuits in his body. Aiden is a robot (actually, he is more of an android but he just doesn't know it yet). Roboy follows Aidens adventures as he goes on a quest to find his creator while defending the city from an on-coming robot invasion.
Catalyst Prime: Quincredible No.1 – Written by David Gorden, a new cosmic event will spur the next great step in evolution. People who have randomly come into contact with powerful meteorites are gaining superhuman abilities. Now they must decide how to use their powers. Will it be for good or for evil? How will they function in a world that no longer makes any sense? How will they deal with the people that fear them and their new powers? And those who are willing to stop at nothing to exploit them?
Trimaxx No.1 – When Mayuri "Mo" O'Connor discovers that she is the only person in the world that can sync with and control the robotic guardian Trimaxx she embarks on a journey to become the world's greatest hero, protecting the planet from its greatest threat - the evil alien empire known as the Mechani.
