recalls the Ancenis BD association. The competition is also intended to raise awareness of the ninth art in its diversity and to provide an opportunity for varied sharing around comics.”
All curious people and comic fans can now read the works selected by the association, accompanied by its partners: Compa via its network of Biblio’fil libraries and the Cultural Space of the Leclerc center in Ancenis-Saint -Gereon. Six works are thus made available to readers in fifteen libraries in the network. Library registration is free for residents and students in the Ancenis region. They are also available at the Cultural Space”,
