Los Alamos County library seeks vendors, activity tables for Atomicon
The county library is recruiting vendors, activity tables and collectors for Atomicon, a Comic-Con-inspired event that can put local sellers in front of families and fans.
The Los Alamos County Library System is looking for vendors, activity tables and collectors to help build Atomicon, turning the library’s Comic-Con-inspired gathering into a place for local creators, clubs and small sellers to meet families and fandom crowds.
The July 24 call uses photos from earlier Atomicon gatherings, including a vendor hall setup and costumes at Mesa Public Library, to show the kind of hands-on atmosphere the event has drawn before. A 2025 Atomicon page snippet also linked the vendor hall to Fuller Lodge and listed two contact numbers, (505) 662-8250 and (505) 662-8265, giving the event a footprint that reaches beyond a single room or building.
Atomicon has long been framed as an event for all ages. When Mesa Public Library promoted the second annual Atomicon in 2023, it was scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 5, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and county organizers said the day would include art vendors and teaching artists. The Los Alamos Daily Post also said that 2023 lineup would bring together art vendors, teaching artists and other participants.
By Aug. 31, 2024, Atomicon had grown into the library’s third celebration of art, illustration, comics, costumes, superheroes, fantasy and science fiction. Visit Los Alamos said that edition ran from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and packed in comics, costumes, crafts, games and activities for all ages. Those details matter for anyone thinking about signing up, because they show Atomicon is built around participation, not just attendance.
That matters for local businesses and organizations looking for visibility in Los Alamos. A vendor table, display space or activity station can put handmade goods, collectibles, art prints, club materials or interactive demos in front of people already spending time in familiar civic spaces such as Mesa Public Library and Fuller Lodge. For makers, hobby groups and community clubs, Atomicon offers a direct line to residents who already use those places and are inclined to linger, browse and connect.
The library’s latest invitation makes clear that Atomicon works best when the event floor is full of local voices. The more vendors, collectors and activity hosts who take part, the more the library can turn a single day on the calendar into a broader showcase for Los Alamos creativity.
