SUMMARY:Comics & Libraries: Resources for Collection Development and Programming (Booklist)
DESCRIPTION:How can you utilize comics to reach your patrons\, build 
 community\, and promote reading? Find out during Booklist’s virtual 
 workshop featuring three sessions focused on collection development and 
 programming in your library or classroom.\n\n\n\n*Session 1 (2-3 pm) 
 Championing Latine Graphic Novels in Middle School Libraries: Strategies 
 for Intentional Selection and Inclusion\nLatine graphic novels are more 
 than engaging reads\; they are powerful tools for literacy\, 
 representation\, and student belonging. This session\, moderated by Dr. 
 Karina Quilantan-Garza\, explores why these titles deserve a place in 
 middle school collections\, even in restrictive policy environments\, and 
 offers practical strategies for collection development\, advocacy\, and 
 responding to common challenges. Participants will leave with ideas and 
 resources they can immediately apply in their own 
 libraries.\n\n\n\n*Session 2 (3-4 pm) Curate with Confidence: Building a 
 Must-Read Graphic Nonfiction Collection \nSchool library director and 
 former English teacher Julie Rick will share resources on how to curate a 
 diverse and dynamic graphic nonfiction collection for kids.  During this 
 presentation she will highlight strategies to evaluate and select high 
 quality graphic nonfiction to meet the needs and interests of your young 
 readers.  \n\n\n\n*Session 3 (4-5 pm) Manga Programming 101 (With A Side of 
 Anime!) (Booklist) \nYA librarian Joe Pascullo will be on hand to discuss 
 manga programming at public libraries\, and how to implement them for your 
 respective youth audiences. Additionally\, we’ll take a closer look at 
 the “anime bump” certain manga receive\, how to spot them in advance\, 
 and how to tie them into programming and collection development!
