| Comic Book Collections and Programming will help librarians build a collection that's right for their library, including specialty collections for kids, teens, and adults. It covers the practical realities of this non-traditional format, like binding, weeding, and budgeting. It also address advanced topics like comics and pedagogy, bringing comics artists and authors into the library, and using comics as a community outreach tool - even hosting comic conventions in libraries.
The guide covers:
Comics for kids, teens, and adults.
Comics genres from superheroes to fantasy to Manga; from memoirs and biographies to science texts to Pulitzer Prize winning literature.
Comics publishers and distributors.
Comics history and influential contemporary creators.
Online resources and communities.
After reading the guide, librarians will be able to:
Organize creator visits and events.
Plan and produce community anthologies.
Host drawing parties and comic discussion groups.
Preserve comics in a library environment
Develop, run, and grow a library-based comic convention.
This is an essential reference for collections librarians, children's librarians, and teen librarians, whether they are comics-lovers or have never read an issue. The guide is aimed at public, academic, and school libraries. |
