While we work on 2021’s lineup, below is a look at the types of programs you can expect to see.

Local Elementary School Students Studying the Chess BoardCosplay Chess

The Saturday prior to Lib-Con, we’ll host an interactive Cosplay Chess event.  Popular each year, guests are invited to come dressed in as their favorite characters who then become pieces on a chess board.  Two local students who play chess will take to the board and command where the pieces will move.  If you’re defeated, you’ll have a takedown pose off before leaving the game board.  Which team will be the victor.

Second Players Performance

Former known as Durian Grey, the Second Players troupe from the DFW area will be making their third appearance at Lib-Con.  These talented actors will be on hand to provide an interactive program for registered guests that always fills up quickly.  We’ll open up the registration process as we get closer to Lib-Con so check back.

Digital Education Technology Club from Abilene Christian University

Making their first appearance at Lib-Con, students from ACU will come with their equipment to teach guests how they can make items in virtual reality, and then use their equipment to see those items in the VR world.  We love technology at the library and this will certainly be an eye-opening event to attend.

ATEMS Robotics Team Demonstrations

Students with an interest in careers in technology, engineering, science, and math will be present at Lib-Con to provide live demonstrations on their robotics teams.  As a magnet school for AISD, these talented students will show you what they’ve accomplished with their combined efforts in technology and engineering.  

Bulb Baby Crochet Creations

Much like Baby Yoda, the Bulb Baby has become a surprise and popular secondary mascot for Lib-Con this year.  These adorable bulbs with tiny legs have appeared everywhere, and if you’re into crochet, we’ll host a program to show you just how you can make your own.  You won’t want to miss out on having one for yourself.

Dungeons & Dragons Gaming & Character Creations
