Graphic medicine is a wide-ranging category that includes graphic memoirs, non-fiction, and fiction for all age groups including adults, teens,
and children. Graphic medicine works often address stigmatized or misunderstood health conditions, as well as the health implications of racism, homophobia, and transphobia. Libraries have used graphic medicine to reduce feelings of isolation by helping community
members feel seen while also introducing new health topics to a wider audience.
This
webinar offers an opportunity to discover what graphic medicine is, what resources and titles are available, and how graphic medicine has been impacted by book challenges and bans. You'll also learn how public libraries are including graphic
medicine in their programming and highlighting titles in their collections.
