- Organize creator visits and events.
- Plan and produce community anthologies.
- Host drawing parties and comic discussion groups.

This is an essential reference for collections librarians, children's librarians, and teen librarians, whether they are comics-lovers or have never read an issue. The guide is aimed at public, academic, and school libraries.
