The Magic of Raina Telgemeier

Join us for a night with critically acclaimed comic artist Raina Telgemeier! Raina is the author and illustrator of the graphic novels Smile, Drama, Sisters, Ghosts, and Guts, all No. 1 bestsellers. She also adapted and illustrated four graphic novel versions of Ann M. Martin’s Baby-Sitters Club series and has contributed short stories to many anthologies. New in 2025 is The Cartoonists Club — a one-of-a-kind graphic novel from Raina and Scott McCloud.

Raina’s accolades include six Eisner Awards, a Stonewall Honor, and many Best-of and Notables lists. 

Children's Librarian Genevieve Grove will join Raina in conversation.
