LibraryCon 2024

Unfortunately, our 3rd Annual LibraryCon event has been canceled. We hope to bring it back next year, so stay tuned. Thank you.

Have you written a book? Do you have a talent, hobby, or skill you’d like to lead a program or workshop for? Click this link to sign up as our talent: Local Authors or Presenters

Would you like to cosplay a family-friendly character (and have attendees take photos with you), help out with setup or cleanup, bring food, run a trivia game, tabletop gaming session, or another activity? Would you serve as a judge for our cosplay contest? Sign up here: Volunteers, Donors, and Judges

What is LibraryCon? It’s a chance to come together as a community! Cosplay a character from a favorite fandom or invent your own. Meet local authors and artists, play trivia and other games, eat, learn, and more! See photos from our first event in 2019 here and from our 2nd event in 2023, here.
