NPR story on librarians at Comic-Con
by Jason on Aug.07, 2008, under Uncategorized
I’m a few days late, but I don’t hear a lot of NPR stories until they make it into the weekly podcast.
Librarians Harvest New Manga Titles At Comic-Con
“Many of them are themselves younger — part of a new generation of librarians who grew up loving comic books. To them, adding manga titles to library shelves seems like a no-brainer.”
Being a bit of a con-geek myself, I had to post it. I’m hoping that New York Comic-Con offering free admission to librarians and educators this year is the start of a trend.

San Diego’s Comicon is so huge and easily sells out months in advance, so I unfortunately can’t imagine that they would offer free admission to anyone, but it’s a nice gesture by New York. Maybe DragonCon could follow suit, though?

I dare to hope. Dcon has certainly got enough of my money already. :)
