Join librarians, specialists, and educators as they share their tips and tricks for ‘how to’ build mindful, accessible, and locally relevant collections for readers from early literacy to adult in a range of formats from zines to webcomics to collected volumes. Hear their favorite comics (and why), their tools for buying and evaluating quality comics, and their suggestions for what to read next!
