Hear from library workers, educators, advocates, and comic creators on the front lines of graphic novel challenges about what you can do to be prepared! After fighting a challenge, whatever the outcome, there are steps it's helpful to take. Our panelists will talk about the impact of comics challenges they've faced, lessons learned and how that learning affects how they move forward. Remember, you are not alone. Our panel on May 17th at 5:00pm EST will help you to Be Prepared, Fight Comics Censorship, and Live to Library Another Day!
