One thought on “Converse Public Library’s First Annual “Mini-Con””
Hi Jenise,
My name is Hannah Norman from the Converse Public Library. I planned and organized the Mini-Con 2018 event that you reported on. Great post by the way! I wish I had stumbled upon this sooner, we could have shared it with our City Council during our last town hall meeting. If you ever need any more information about what we are doing or if you need quotes from staff or our volunteers/vendors, just let me know. Thank you!
