At our anime club at Modesto Junior college we have a manga library where members can check out manga for a short time.
Why not have such a thing for fanime?
Why not set a room like a library setting, the person checking out the manga must leave their bag, id, badge or so on at the check out desk and area. It gives a chance for people to view new mangas, read mangas they always wanted to read, or even have a blast from a blast.

There can be a donation center for manga where people can view the books during at the con.
Those manga's that are donated could go to a charity, I would say for foster kids in the area to enjoy, read and keep for their own.

Since when? I didn't hear about this.

Also, what keeps people from running off with a boxful of manga?


if that the master a 'prentice have,
Entirely then that he him tell,
That he the craft ably may know,
Wheresoever he go under the sun.

Unless there was some long running hiatus that I'm not aware of, last year was the first time Fanime had a manga library.  It was in the Hilton, next to the rooms used for the speed dating event.

We wound up with a pretty good collection of manga in a couple of different languages, but I don't know any details for this year's library.
