We’re looking forward to our favorite online event of the year, once again proudly sponsoring Library Journal and School Library Journal’s LibraryCon Live! on Thursday, November 9, 2023. The free virtual event celebrates its ninth year with a full day of programming featuring comics and graphic novels, and is an excellent opportunity to catch up on readers’ advisory recommendations and professional development.
LibraryPass is excited to be exhibiting at AASL 2023 (Tampa Bay, FL) for the first time! In addition to demos of Comics Plus and hosting a session on dealing with book challenges, we’re also bringing along a small library featuring some of our favorite publishers’ comics and manga that we’ll be giving away to one lucky school librarian at the end of the show!
Comics and manga are important for supporting independent reading but can also be effective tools for improving literacy, language learning, and reading for pleasure across a broad audience. With increasing availability of classroom-appropriate titles addressing a variety of educational subjects, educators should work with their librarian partners to include comics and manga in their lesson plans.
