Samuels Public Library’s own mini Comic-Con celebrates reading and technology literacy at the library, in our community, and beyond through comics, graphic novels, manga, anime, gaming, and computer technology. This is the culminating event of Library Card Sign-up month.

This year’s theme was Lord of the Rings! Cosplayers, programs gaming, crafts, maker space, scavenger hunt, inside vendor fair, local talent, costume contest – there was something for everybody.

The Royal Examiner was there too. Watch as we traveled around the Library and spoke to vendors, cosplayers and don’t miss the costume contest at the end. Congratulations to Kelly Clark for First Place in the costume contest.
