The event is free and open to teens ages 12 to 17. This annual event, now in its third year, draws hundreds of teens to the Library and offers a wide variety of activities, including screenings, crafts, workshops, dance, music, and a photo booth. There will be food and comic related items available for purchase.
In addition to the many activities that will take place at the Convention, there will be a video game competition, a rock-paper-scissors tournament, an Instagram photo contest, and a cosplay contest.
For the cosplay contest, teens are encouraged to dress as their favorite characters and compete for the chance to win prizes.
