Banned Books Week is here, and TeenLIVE presents New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins to Grand Central Library this afternoon to discuss “the darker side of decisions, the pressure of perfection, and the search for identity in the world of fiction.” The books above are Hopkins’ contribution to young adult literature. Her best-known (and most banned) book Crank is “loosely based on my older daughter’s story of addiction to crystal meth,” according to Hopkins. Perfect is her latest, just-published novel.
Tonight’s event is free, for ages 13 to 18 years old, and at the Grand Central Library (on East 46th Street between Lexington and Third Avenue). Please join us!
All KidsLIVE and TeenLIVE programs are sponsored by the Katerina and Andreas C. Dracopoulos Family Endowment for Young Audiences.

ALA will present three programs for the library community and comics industry professionals during the Professional Day, Thursday, October 13: “Digital Comics & Libraries - Past, Present & Future”, “Video Game Collection Development for Libraries” and “National Gaming Day @ your library: Using Video Games and Comic Books as library outreach tools.”
NYCC has generously extended free passes for all library staff members on Professional Day, with Programming Hours from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM and Show Floor hours of 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM open only to librarians, educators and other industry members.

While you’re at the show, please plan to stop by ALA’s Booth #2724 to say hello and to pick up more information about integrating games, comics and graphic novels into your collections and programming. We’ll also have information on how ALA Members can get involved with ALA’s new Gaming Roundtable and the Graphic Novels in Libraries Member Initiative Group.
For your customers and patrons, New York Comic Con hosts a “Kids Day” on Sunday, October 16, the final day of the show. Children and tweens under 12 are welcomed to attend the Show and literary programs at no cost on Sunday.
NYCC will support this in your library with posters, bookmarks and pins. If you’d like to make Kids Day available through your library please email Jul Sifers with New York Comic Con; they would be happy to send you all the information and material to share this free event with your community.
