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.
I believe we already have a manga library??

Since when? I didn't hear about this.
Also, what keeps people from running off with a boxful of manga?

Librarians..duh! Look out for it at con this year!:)
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.
