In the fall of 2019, Milton Library was proud to host its very first MALCon (Milton-Area Library Convention) with plans to make it a regularly occurring event. The world had other plans, but we never gave up hope. On April 12th, 2025, after years of strife and conflict, MALCon returns bigger, better, and with just more stuff.
All day throughout the Milton Branch Library we will be hosting events ranging from role-play game demos, author panels, stop-motion workshops, a costuming workshop, miniature paint-and-take classes, and so much more.
More attending professionals will be announced throughout February.
