00:50:54 Aandhi Milne: Thank you! Comics is not a dirty word 00:51:06 Annalise Policicchio: I agree! 00:53:36 Annalise Policicchio: It's really a shame that comics and graphic novels are, once again, at the center of a campaign for censorship 00:53:38 Eti Berland: Every word and image is measured to convey the most meaning - it definitely demonstrates craft 00:55:18 Chorieta Valerio: comics is a very much needed reading materials , very entertaining suitable for all ages, we need some here in the Philippines especially in this pandemic time for the kids and even adults, as its very understandable, even kids who don't know how to read can understand the illustration and graphics, very amazing... 00:56:41 Aandhi Milne: Comics also help dramatically with fine distinctions between emotions, the ability to viscerally identify with fine distinctions between different facial expressions. They also are wonderful for abstract reasoning; drawing cause and effect between actions, reactions and abstract representations of movement, passage of time... They are incredibly 00:57:08 Aandhi Milne: information rich 01:02:33 Annalise Policicchio: Comics can also help teach moral lessons and morality (comic depending), as well as teach readers how to handle a multitude of situations 01:03:30 Aveen Beedles: Is anyone awae of comics with the feel-good factor ie not dark themes? 01:03:43 Pamela McGowan: Love this quote! 01:04:14 FRANCISCUS DERMAWAN: thank you 01:04:23 Elaine Myburgh: Thank you! 01:04:24 Ana Brawls: Tahnk you, brilliant 01:04:28 Aniek Ragan: thank you 01:04:33 Aandhi Milne: Aveen, what age group and interests? 01:04:39 Jay Shulamith: Aveen I love Check, Please by Ngozi Ukazu which is definitely aimed at late teens/early adults but is super sweet 01:04:50 Whitney Kingston: Fabulous - thank you 01:04:51 Annalise Policicchio: Aveen, the original Superman comics from the so-called 'Golden Age' of comics here in the USA often had a lot of morality and lessons put into the comic book 01:04:57 Aveen Beedles: secondary students so ages 12 up 01:05:01 Annalise Policicchio: Thank you so much for the awesome talk! 01:05:03 Eti Berland: Aveen, I definitely recommend Chi’s Sweet Home as a feel good comic 01:05:08 Natalie Sutton: Brilliant, Thank you 01:05:45 Warrick Taylor: Smile and sequels by Raina Tergemaier are fairly positive I believe. Touches on body image a little as its about a young lady withbraces 01:06:26 Warrick Taylor: Telgemeier, Raina 01:08:03 Gillian Angel: Aveen, Pumpkin Heads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Hicks is fun and feel good, I recommend it 01:08:38 Jay Shulamith: You can't go wrong with Rainbow Rowell! 01:08:48 Georgette Kenney: Please remember to share all comments with All Attendees and Panelists, and don’t forget to post your questions in the Q&A section.

Has read them 4 or 5 times and got her into graphic novels 01:12:15 Aandhi Milne: Upper mid-years to Young Adult media tend to skew "edgy" or near-peer focused, to give mediated ideas of their assumed next developmental stage, i.e. books for "+16" are popular with 12 to 14 year olds. 01:13:01 jean Beaulieu: really enjoying seeing so many GN with female lead characters 01:13:01 Sally Potter: any recommendations for a western genre. My Western fiction readers would engage with these 01:13:39 Eti Berland: Black Heroes of the Wild West by James Otis Smith 01:13:46 Aniek Ragan: Gavin Aung - Zen Pencil 01:13:56 Zareen Khan: any recommendation for Indian genre for school libraries 01:14:26 Eti Berland: Thinking about positioning libraries is really important - when I started my job at public library, we moved kids comics to shelf as soon as walk into youth area - and instant interest and access and of course, increased circulation 01:14:34 Lauren Castan: Karen’s collection introduced me to The Sixsmiths and Valentine Dei, great gateway to Australian works 01:14:34 iurgi urrutia: Bouncer by Jodorowsky and the new Lucky Luke by Bonhomme. Sadly my favourite comic book series ever is a western but long out of print in English: The Adventures of Blueberry by Charlier & Giraud 01:14:52 Helen Velikans: Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander? 01:14:57 Emily Chen: During this webinar, if any questions, please enter it in the Q&A panel at the bottom of the screen.

They need to have their own sections, not interfiled. We will be publishing general guidelines on our blog soon. 01:24:00 Eti Berland: That’s fantastic and an essential resource we could all use, thanks! 01:24:05 iurgi urrutia: We’re working on it 01:24:16 FRANCISCUS DERMAWAN: thank you Karen 01:24:45 Georgette Kenney: Sorry Jade, the slides are as big as possible. 01:25:18 Jade Morris: This size is perfect! It was when they were smaller they pixelated :-) 01:26:48 Georgette Kenney: Oh ok, thanks. Sometimes it’s the connection that compromises the graphics. Hope it’s better for you now. 01:29:24 Eti Berland: I always like adding a craft to my Books & Bites book club like making sock puppets during New Kid by Jerry Craft discussion - and warm fuzzies for our upcoming discussion of El Deafo for Cece Bell -and while we craft, the kids often up even more 01:29:27 Monty Masseurs: The upper age limit for some YA comics (teen +) would definitely have unsuitable content for the lower age limit of children's comics. Best to keep them separate and also tailored to each audience individually 01:30:53 Pamela McGowan: Love the March trilogy 01:33:49 Aandhi Milne: Thank you all for the talk today, so many rich and interesting ideas :) Gotta go on desk now, such is (library) life <3 01:36:25 Eti Berland: My colleagues know I’m the one to advocate for comics when caregivers come in with questions (or try to stop their kids from reading comics … these conversations are so important and can ensure kids have access to the books they want to read 01:36:50 Aniek Ragan: Thanks Moni 01:36:53 Gillian Angel: Thank you Moni! 01:37:04 Eti Berland: Highly recommend putting out the comics that Jarrett Lerner has made - our kids love making them https://jarrettlerner.com/activities/ 01:37:10 iurgi urrutia: Thank you Moni. Great presentation. 01:37:20 FRANCISCUS DERMAWAN: thank you Moni 01:38:04 Sally Potter: So inspiring, so many ideas to introduce into the library.
