2022 was another record year for digital circulation in many libraries as the demand for digital content continued unabated. LibraryPass hit a new benchmark of its own, announcing more than one million checkouts of digital comics, graphic novels, and manga in Comics Plus throughout the year. Achieving this milestone in only its third year exclusively serving schools and libraries was thanks to 2,500+ customers in the US and around the world offering their students and patrons unlimited, simultaneous access to a diverse collection of titles. And it was made possible by dozens of library-friendly publisher partners making their titles available to schools and libraries because they truly believe in equitable access.

By reading graphic memoirs and first-person narratives as mentor texts, students can get ideas and inspiration from other writers. They can see how the writers have a clear focus, and a beginning, middle, and end to their stories; how they develop their ideas with engaging details. Most importantly, students can see how the writers use their unique voices when telling their personal stories, helping them find their own voices and share their own stories.
