#librarycon live

[renstrapp]

I'm just getting back from a week of camping and frolicking. All of our towels smell like campfire and our whole apartment is covered in pine needles, but I am restored.

As part of my inbox catch up duties, here's your invitation to the LibraryCon Live 2024 virtual event happening next month! On November 14th, I'll be on a panel discussing love and relationships (and my book, How Could You) at 3:50 – 4:25 PM ET along with Ingrid Ochoa (The Kiss Bet) and Chandrama Anderson (I Do I Don't: How to Build a Better Marriage).

I'm really excited and nervous! There will be Q&A after and the session will also be recorded, so if you register you can watch later. See you there!!

LibraryCon Live! 2022

Free virtual event!

November 17, 2022

Calling all librarians!

LibraryCon Live! 2022 is taking place THIS THURSDAY!

LibraryCon Live! Is a FREE virtual event that is put on by Library Journal and School Library Journal. According to the website:

Day-long celebration of fandom, spotlighting genre fiction for adults and teens with panels devoted to comics and graphic novels, horror, sf/fantasy, and more!

Explore the virtual exhibit hall where you'll hear from publishers about their newest books, download galleys and resources, and engage in live chats with featured authors and illustrators!

This event seems to be largely catering to YA librarians and school librarians, but public and even academic librarians might find it interesting or helpful.

This event is NOT only for librarians, but registration does ask for a lot of library info, and the sessions often have specific library connections.

Some interesting (to me) sessions:

How Manga Took Over the World

Myths & Folktales

Teen witches

Live Long and Preserve: How the Library of Congress Cares for its Collection

Haunting Horror

And more!

Notable speakers include Shobo & Shof, Tillie Walden, Chuck Wendig, Ed Brubaker, Lesa Cline-Ransome, Asiah Fulmore, Mackenzi Lee, Marcos Martin, and tons more!

To register, visit:

libraryjournal(dot)com/event/librarycon-2022

Or, search for LibraryCon 2022 on the Library Journal website

It runs from 10 am to 5 pm EST

If you can't make it to a session live, they will be archived and the virtual environment will be accessible for 3 months.

Fandomonium will be back at Headquarters Library on April 8 with special guests young adult author Kami Garcia, graphic novelist Andre Frattino, and Brian Ross from Draco and the Malfoys.

        This all day event will be filled with fun activities for con goers of all ages and culminate with a Costume Contest on the fourth floor. The always popular Geek Battle will be back, and this year we are introducing Live Action Pac Man.

We will have three panel discussions throughout the day.

Girl Power: Feminism and the Magical Girl Genre will be talking about girls teaming up. Explore the different takes on everything from Sailor Moon to Kill la Kill.

Remaking Culture: The power of Fanfiction will be talking about fanfiction. “Power” or, rather, “empowerment” will be a major theme of the panel, as will the transformative aspect of creating fanworks.

Cosplay, Make up! This panel will discuss the transformative aspects of cosplay that allow a person to become something entirely different through the power of artistry, building, and creativity.

Special presenters include Gamesville Tabletop, SCA, R.U. Game?, and SAW. They will be putting on D&D campaigns, a swordplay demonstration, retro games, and comic book workshops throughout the library and courtyard.

Vendors and food trucks will be set up in the courtyard for noms and your geeky materialistic needs.
