Cosplay Programs for Your Library: WNYLRC Webinar
WNYLRC Winter Webinar: Cosplay Programs for Your Library
Date: Tuesday, February 2, 2016; 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
Description: Cosplay, comics, anime, and geek culture have exploded into the mainstream over recent years and have resulted in a thriving community of costume enthusiasts and pop culture fans. Today’s cosplayers find inspiration in the pages of comics, classic literature, and even history, as well as in film, television, and video games. They utilize many materials and techniques, including 3D printers, thermoplastics, craft foam, and fabric to design their costumes and props.
Whatever your level of experience with cosplay and event planning, whether or not your library is new to fandom-style programming, you’ll learn something new, fun, and interesting. Learn all about the world of cosplay and how libraries can host cosplay events, workshops, makerspaces, clubs, and more!
