Fandom and geek programming has exploded in libraries in recent years.
From anime-themed library lock-in events, cosplay contests, and video
game tournaments, to an annual Harry Potter Yule Ball, libraries have
embraced their inner geek and are hosting a wide variety of fandom
programs. For those librarians who have no idea about the importance
of Doctor Who, or the Star Trek vs.Star Wars debate, planning for such
programming can seem daunting.

covers major fandom and program themes, as well as real-world event,
club, and program ideas to help librarians provide this type of
programming to their communities. Specifically, detailed coverage is
