In this episode recorded at Thunderbird Coffee in East Austin, Hauser, Mauser, and McElroy discuss comics for all grade levels and the publishing trend of YA series.
McElroy shares Little Lit, a large comic collection, which sparks discussion of having a "coffee table book" area in the library.
Mauser expands on the comic discussion by sharing Making Comics. The ensuing discussion includes using free online comic generators, and understanding how to craft a story in comic form.
Hauser reviews the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, leading to a discussion of why we all appreciate the trilogy instead of a longer series.
In the technology segment, we discuss different ways to use QR codes in the school library, including concerns about cell phone policies, and target audience at the elementary level.
Recorded on a busy Saturday morning, the background noise of an active coffee shop gives the listener a sense of being there.
