Tapping into comics and pop culture has become more common for south suburban libraries. This week alone, the Blue Island Public Library and others celebrated Star Wars Day on May 4.
Bean, who has worked at libraries for 11 years, said intake of graphic novels has increased over that time. Seeing how popular comic conventions had become, the library started holding Fan Fest to give patrons a free event close to home.
White Oak Library Lockport Branch manager Evangeline Stephenson said when she got started in libraries 12 years ago, these types of events were not regular occurrences. Pop culture was not on anybody’s radar. Whether it was television, Marvel movies, internet fandom or something else entirely, pop culture is definitely on the radar of libraries now, she said.
Patrons shop at a vendor booth at Comicopolis in 2019 at the White Oak Library Lockport Branch. Pop culture gatherings at area libraries are drawing thousands of people to celebrate concepts like comic books, which in ages past were not widely accepted at the institutions.
