Shelf Life: Comics Conning Their Way Into Libraries

This summer, like most summers, I appeared at a few comic conventions. I also appeared at two libraries; not terribly unusual, as I’ve done a number of library lectures before. But these appearance were actually for comic conventions at the public libraries in Saratoga Springs, NY and Utica, NY.

The connection between libraries and comics is strong and growing stronger. Where comics might have been frowned upon in bygone eras, now many libraries sport well-stocked graphic novel sections. The bond is also expanding to convention-style events held at the libraries, complete with guests, cosplayers, vendors and more.
