With the continuing explosion in popularity of comics, graphic novels, and
manga as sources of reading and entertainment for kids, titles like *Dog
Man*, *New Kid*, *Guts*, *Avatar*, *My Hero Academia*, *March*, and *They
Called us Enemy* are flying off shelves in bookstores and libraries.
They’re also receiving critical acclaim and winning major awards—including
the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, and Newbery Medal.

Join us after hours on *Tuesday, November 24th at 7pm ET (4pm PT)
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mediasource.actonservice.com/acton/ct/10574/s-2bf0-2011/Bct/q-0c6b/l-0037:2e681/ct5_1/1/l?sid=TV2*3A8XmzVSyJb__;JQ!!KGKeukY!kOeiS-y4KY7zEQTlM-pTtptXBX8xcA-qGivgmQ6UJgXtTDjNxl_p8eN1g2nbXjFiVkI3JAbs1piK$ >*
for this free webinar where our panel of distinguished educators and
librarians—*Karen Gavigan*, *Kat Kan*, *Esther Keller*, *Christina Taylor*—will
discuss how the comics medium works and why it has become so popular,
particularly amongst younger readers. They’ll answer the questions
librarians and educators frequently have about comics, as well as those
asked by parents who don’t believe comics count as “real” reading.

The 60-minute presentation will be moderated by LibraryPass’ *John
Shableski*, and include a live Q&A segment where our panelists will answer
attendees’ specific questions submitted via the registration form and
during the session.

Comic books, graphic novels, and manga offer an incredible opportunity to
engage readers of all abilities and ages by providing a visual foundation
that helps accelerate comprehension of an author's ideas while inspiring
them to find their own voices.

*Jerry Craft* (*New Kid*) and *Grace Ellis* (*Lumberjanes*) joined Tracy
Edmunds, Talia Hurwitz, Rossie Stone, Anthony Zuiker, and LibraryPass’ John
Shableski for a lively and insightful conversation about developing empathy
with comics and graphic novels.

The archived recording is now available, along with answers to additional
questions from registrants.
