Skill-Sharing Conversation: Bringing Comic Con to the Library

Topic: Skill-Sharing Conversation: Bringing Comic Con to the Library

Comic book conventions have seen a surge in popularity in recent years. At the same time, graphic novels remain one of the most in-demand genres in libraries of all types. "It's no surprise, then, that comics-themed events at libraries are drawing crowds," according to Publisher’s Weekly. "Besides being a grand old time, comic cons benefit libraries by bringing in new readers and showcasing particularly strong graphic novel collections."
