Different sites seem appropriate for different ages and stages. They seem tailor-made for library events. How about these ideas:

1. Have a library user contest to make the best comic to describe a visit to the library. (humour welcome)

2. Add this to the 23 Things or Learning 2.1 as a fun activity. (fun is welcome, eh.)

3. Write a comic book about a trip to the library for different grades to access and read before or after a library visit.

4. Write a fun storyboard about a library event - games night, teddy bear or wear-your-pajamas night, sleepovers, computer literacy training, and more.

5. Promote a vote for a bond issue or library proposition. (Hey if you can comnunicate your best argument in four panels you're halfway there!)

6. Promote your graphic novels, mystery or romance collection with a graphic representation of the staff and librarian.

Remeber there are many formats of comics:

- Single pane
- 3-4 panels
- Sunday colour comics longform
- Classic comics
- Graphic novels
- Serials (or Soap Operas) like Mary Worth or Gasoline Alley
- Limited series (like a Christmas arc)

What are your ideas (or examples?). You can share in the comments.

Hey! You don't need to know how to draw anymore!
