Comic books, manga, and graphic novels are now staples in school and public libraries across Canada. High interest, high-circulation, and high-excitement, these fantastic additions have been a boon to the libraries who’ve embraced them.  But with any popular new category comes both new challenges and new opportunities.

The Toronto Comic Arts Festival, the preeminent comic book and graphic novel event in Canada, now teams with The Beguiling Library Services to host a full day of programming dedicated to explaining, expanding, and building graphic novel knowledge. Featuring presentations, panels, and workshops by a host of librarians and educators from across North America, as well as some of the biggest names and bestselling authors in graphic novel publishing, this is an event not to be missed for any librarian who has -- or may have in the future -- graphic novels in their library.

Organizer

The Beguiling Library Services

The Beguiling has been in business since 1987. Since opening, our broad knowledge base and considerable diversity of comics and graphics novels have garnered us a large clientele and a solid reputation. As a result, librarians across Canada dealing both in reference and circulating materials have sought out our services for public libraries and every grade level of school libraries, including universities. To match the recent dramatic growth of interest in graphic novels, The Beguiling continues to stock, evaluate and database all incoming titles in order to maintain lists of suitable and recommended comics for readers of any age, taste or language.
