About the event
A mainstay of TCAF for many years, Libraries & Education Day 2025 will bring together broad public and academic audiences - creating a K-16 meets GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) comics conference. A key focus of LED this year will be graphic medicine, and comics as cultural heritage alongside panels focusing on graphic novel collection development, curation, readers advisory, and advocacy. Comics are such an interdisciplinary format that we are excited for the potential conversations across disciplines and professional circles uniting higher ed, K-12, public libraries, and GLAM communities.
Time / Date: June 6, 2025 from 8:30am-5pm ET
