The Livingston Parish Library will host Book-Con, a family-friendly festival celebrating literature and comic book culture, on Saturday, September 19, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Main Branch, located at 20390 Iowa Street in Livingston.
Book-Con marks the merging of two beloved library traditions – the annual Livingston Parish Book Festival and Comic Con – into one unforgettable event. Building on the popularity of both, Book-Con will bring together local authors, comic book vendors, artists, non-profit organizations, food trucks, and hands-on activities for a day celebrating all kinds of stories, under this year’s theme: “Celebrating All Stories.”
Highlights for Book-Con include:
Authors Row: Meet and mingle with local authors spanning nearly every genre imaginable – romance, fantasy, historical fiction, cozy mysteries, children's picture books, memoirs, and more.
Vendor Market: Browse a lineup of local businesses and independent sellers offering everything from comic books, graphic novels, and pop culture collectibles to handmade art, crafts, and unique treasures you won’t find anywhere else.
Community Row: Learn about the work of local non-profit organizations.
Cosplay Contest: Dress as your favorite character from anime, gaming, comics, movies, or any fandom and compete for prizes while connecting with fellow fans.
All-day activities: Games, crafts, balloon twisting, food trucks, and other family-friendly attractions throughout the day for all ages.
The event is free and open to all ages. Parking and general event details are available at www.mylpl.info/events/book-con.
