meeting of the New York State Library Association to talk about Archie Comics' Library Program. At the convention a raffle was held, with the winner appearing in a future issue of Archie Comics.

Top

Elementary School

. At the school Leonora Martin gives the girls a tour of Bell Top. Writer George Gladir said, "It's a fun story and Leonora is a very nice person. She sent a CD with about 20 pictures of herself and her school." This was very helpful to artist Dan Parent, who used the photos to accurately depict the school. Leonora Martin, the real-life school librarian turned Betty & Veronica co-star, stated, "Everyone at the school is very excited. About half the students have ordered copies of the comic."
