Online webinar. This session will NOT be recorded.
Join us for an hour-long introduction to and overview of manga in libraries: what it is, why it matters, and how to develop a solid collection. From building teen engagement at your library to creating a collection that acknowledges manga as one of the fastest growing segments of book readership in the US, this webinar will help you initiate or strengthen your manga knowledge and offerings, from its importance for social-emotional development to books to purchase.
Led by Jillian Rudes, author of “Manga in Libraries,” school librarian, and founder of Manga in Libraries, an organization which provides manga readers’ advisory lists and hosts manga webinars, workshops, and panels.
Participants may request a certificate of attendance for one contact hour following the event. Presented by Empire State Library Network, and free to all. Registration is required. Questions? Contact Amy Dickinson at amy@nnyln.org.
