Watch When Available!YouTube: https://youtu.be/DyFa40eEIKsAt the request of Will Eisner, a librarian has been a member of the Eisner Awards jury since 2005. When Jackie Estrada, Administrator for the Eisner Awards, invited Kat Kan to be that first librarian jury member, the awards began to take on a new kind of energy. Since that day, the influence of the awards has grown beyond the traditional comics community and now resonates with traditional publishers, academic institutions, and throughout the library world. Join in on the conversation as these ground-breaking librarians talk about their experience as members of the Eisner juries over the years. Moderated by
John Shableski (2009 Jury) this session features five Eisner Librarian jurors:
Kat Kan (2005),
Karen Green (2011),
Jason Poole (2016),
Dawn Rutherford (2017), and
Traci Glass (2019).
