Still time to register! Join the ALA Graphic Novel and Comics Round Table Wed May 17th at 4:00pm CT as
we conclude our three-part #LibcomixOnline webinar series:
"Be Prepared! What to do when a comics challenge comes"
Comics and graphic novel are amongst the most popular, most lauded, and most loved items on our shelves - and amongst the most banned and challenged materials of the past few years. 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!
