Today, Kristal Adams and myself represented FairSquare Graphics on #LibraryConLive courtesy of LibraryPass. We had a great time talking to Guy about our experience as a #SmallPublisher for the past five years. The challenges. The successes. The past, present and future of our endeavor. Hope it helps people understand better what we do and draws as many people as possible to discover our books. We need everyone to ensure we'll be there for the foreseeable future! #comicsfromtherestofus #indiesdoitbetter #smallisbeautiful Our panel is here if you missed it:

Good mysteries require readers to interact with the text, and the comics medium enhances this experience with immersive visuals, too — providing additional details, hints, and clues for the aspiring sleuth! We've selected a range of titles from our “Mystery Reads for Aspiring Sleuths“ list designed to challenge and inspire students of all ages to delve deeper into their independent reading. #ReadAllTheComics #libcomix #VisualLiteracy https://lnkd.in/eqpaCeq8

"As a teenager, I really needed Comics Plus or something similar: a digital library that championed manga, comics and graphic novels as valid forms of reading. An educational resource that showed that visual literature deserved respect and representation in libraries." Ellie Lathbridge's personal experience as a reader is one of the reasons Comics Plus exists. ?? Reading comics IS real reading, too. #ReadAllTheComics #libcomix #libraries

"Don't be afraid to learn alongside your students. If you are a comics reader already, great. If you know nothing about comics, figure it out together. I think that that kind of modeling, when teachers are able to demonstrate that they are not fully confident in a particular domain, I think it's actually reassuring to learners."

"It feels like the school year is back in full swing (here in the US), and if there’s a theme to my picks from our most recent additions to Comics Plus, it’s a reminder of sequential art’s uniquely charming ability to engage, educate, and entertain readers — all at the same time." Robert Randle Randle curates our Recent Additions list every week, spotlighting a range of interesting titles your readers might enjoy. Every month, he puts a few in the spotlight to help enhance your readers' advisory efforts — or add to your own reading list. #ReadersAdvisory #ReadAllTheComics #libcomix https://lnkd.in/eeSHncdW
