Whether you go to Cons all the time or this is your first one, our family-friendly Library Con celebrates all media and fandoms, and offers Lawrence a free, Comic Con-style experience with all the library perks.
Special Saturday Hours on April 13:
OPEN — 10 AM–1 PM
CLOSED — 1–2 PM
OPEN — 2–7 PM
*NOTE: The library will close on Saturday for one hour to prepare for the Con. When we open back up at 2 PM, anyone coming to the library during the Con can still get a library card and check out materials, but things will be lively and a bit noisy — You might even catch a glimpse of your favorite character!

ABOUT LPL CON: LPL Con offers opportunities to showcase the library's collections and engage the Lawrence community. It introduces visitors to our offerings — from graphic novels and gaming to movie and TV collections. Beyond attracting folks from all over northeast Kansas, it fosters connections and encourages participation in library programs, such as book clubs and online communities. Both libraries and Cons serve as conduits that connect people to art, storytelling, and each other. LPL Con complements the library's mission and vision by providing free, accessible spaces for creativity and learning.
