PRESENTATION: Sarah Jones and Colleen, Clinton-Macomb Public Library

“How to Throw a Large-Scale Comic Con at Your Library”

Pick a date that doesn’t conflict with other dates!

Market early “save the date”. They picked a Saturday, all day. They planned for a lot of

people: 300 attended Harry Potter, so they planned on 400. 1000+ attended! One area

of library was reserved for quiet library activities. Planned lots of events for every age

with help of coworkers and friends. Panels of people talked about topics like cosplay,

movie makeup, ghost hunting, and Star Trek. Activities like costume contest, local

author book signing, local artists sold art, trivia contest, Hamilton sing-a-long, ghost

hunt, wine tasting. All day activities included tabletop gaming, photo ops, random crafts,

Lego contest, video games. Registration not required. Offered drawing programs for

children and adults. Food trucks. Low budget, people volunteered time, used things they

already had. They didn’t pay for advertising. The schedule timetable didn’t really gel

until last minute.

They are doing it again this year, April 28, 10-6. They are eliminating anything after

hours. 25 activities planned, with most happening during 6 hours. To streamline

communication with vendors, volunteers, etc. they created a unique email address.

They are trying to have activities going on all the time. New this year is Lego freeplay,

Adult Services is going to present How to Throw a Game of Thrones party, nerd sign

painting, more panels of residents talking about their interests e.g., a survivalist will

present, someone will talk about ghosts and local true crime, escape rooms, D&D.

Tips: Have a small planning team for decision making. Wear a comfortable costume.

Feed your volunteers. Designate a space for people to change clothes. Coordinate

activities so you are not having to break down a room and set it up with something else.

Plan for set up and break down time. Make a Facebook event. Use it as a craft clean up

opportunity. Reach out. Partner with local businesses. Last year Tubby’s donated

sandwiches. Use the words “Comic Con” because “Comic-Com” is licensed.
