A new Comic Con has hit the scene and it's right here in North Little Rock! Leave it to our neighborhood library to create a family-friendly event with something for everyone from K-Pop fans to Dungeon Masters, Gamers, and kids of all ages!
Activities and events are scheduled throughout the day at the Laman Main Branch on Orange St. in North Little Rock on Saturday, May 11th from 9 am to 4 pm. We've organized them by age so you can find the best events for your family!
Keep in mind that these are suggested ages. You know your child best. And don't forget the wonderful playground for people of all ages and abilities out in the Laman Courtyard for when you need to take a fresh air break or get the zoomies out! (Get a bite to eat from the food trucks while you're out there!)
