Diamond Returns to LibraryCon Live
Diamond partners with Library Journal and School Library Journal for their fourth annual LibraryCon Live!
This free virutal event offers a day-long celebration of fandom-beloved stories and characters, featuring the creators behind mind-bending speculative fiction, innovative comics, and fan-favorite graphic novels.
Plus, network online with other fans and explore our virtual exhibit hall where you’ll hear directly from Diamond and our publishers about our newest books and engage in live chats with featured authors. Whether you’re a public or school librarian, an educator of teens and young adults, or a superfan of graphic novels and sf/fantasy, don’t miss this chance to meet and interact with some of your favorite stars across these genres!
We are anticipating an unprecedented number of library and education professionals to attend this event, so you may find the environment or live sessions become full during the day.
But fear not! All sessions and author chats will be available for viewing on-demand within an hour of their initial broadcast, and the entire event will be available on-demand until January 5, 2021.
By registering for this event you confirm that you have read and agree to Library Journal & School Library Journal’s Code of Conduct.

- FREE downloadable digital review copies
- FREE downloadable marketing materials (bookmarks, posters, etc.)
