Calling all comic fans, artists, readers, and dreamers -Comic Con is back and bigger than ever! On Saturday, November 8, the Library hosts its third annual Comic Con, an all-day, all-ages celebration of comics, graphic novels, art, and storytelling at the Central Library (2090 Kittredge at Shattuck) in Downtown Berkeley. From panels and cosplay to hands-on workshops and a vendor hall, this free community event promises inspiration and fun for fans of every age. This year’s lineup features award-winning authors, illustrators, and local creators who bring truth, humor, and adventure to the comics page.

Join us for author events and more this October!

As part of a planned construction project, the City will be replacing rooftop HVAC systems at both the Kittredge and Bancroft library buildings.

Come celebrate, remember, and/or be introduced to the Berkeley Barb— the “social media” of the Counter Cultural / Youth Movements of the nation and the World. We are also hosting a free, all-day Zine event for enthusiasts, creators, and curious newcomers to immerse themselves in a vibrant atmosphere filled with unique vendors, engaging workshops, and lively music. Check out our other offerings including a book launch of Go Figure by local artist Guy Colwell this August!

Enjoy dynamic programming this July!
