Your Library Loves You Back @ Emerald City Comicon 2017

“Are you a writer? An artist? A fan looking to connect with other fans? This session will focus on how libraries can support you in completing your work and achieving your dreams. We’ll cover strategies for successful research, using both text and image sources, for everything from character design to historical context to large scale world-building. We’ll demonstrate and discuss the creative services provided by public libraries across North America, in person and online: tools, classes, and resources to help you succeed in digital media design, print and electronic self-publishing, self-promotion, and community collaboration. And we'll open up the discussion so that the librarians on the panel can learn what you would like to see at YOUR library!”
