ECCC@SPL PANEL: HELP TEEN READERS GROW INTO ADULT COMICS READERS
1:45 PM - 2:45 PM — Seattle Public Library, 1000 4Th Ave., Microsoft Auditorium
SPEAKER: KIERON GILLEN
Libraries and Schools have seen a huge growth in kids comics as well as continued growth with
teen comic readers - how to help these readers grow into lifelong comics readers? Hear from
librarians, educators, and comic creators on their strategies, ideas, and how they progressed
from childhood comic fans (or were they comics fans as kids...?!) to adult readers of comics. Also
hear how about the vital importance of adult readership of comics as modeling tool for parents,
educators, and librarians. This panel is brought to you by the American Library Association's
Graphic Novels & Comics Round Table (GNCRT). Follow the GNCRT @libcomix.
