And now for something completely different!
At the beginning of the present mandate of this city council, we established a new Library and Culture Committee. We convene every few months to discuss issues related to the library and encourage new ideas. Director of Library Services Janine West and her team do a remarkable job.
One of our members is a CEGEP student named Anna Shi. Working with our CSL Youth Advisory Group, she came up with the idea of organizing our very own Comiccon. The latter refers to a pop-culture fan convention that showcases artists and products from entertainment genres like: Sci-fi, Horror, Anime, Gaming in all its forms, and, of course, bande dessinée and comic books. The huge Montreal edition will take place at the Palais des congrès July 14-16.
Bravo to Anna and her team for making our own Comiccon a realty. It will be held on Sunday, July 9 (11 am to 5 pm) at the Harold Greenspon Auditorium of City Hall (5801 Cavendish). This bilingual event is geared towards anyone aged 12 and over.
You can go to cotesaintluc.wixsite.com/comiccon for all of the details. This site was designed by the young adult organizers.
The event will feature workshops, contests, prizes and the opportunity to buy art and comic books and meet local artists. Comic-inspired costumes are optional, but encouraged!

See you all there!
