LibraryPass is excited to be exhibiting at AASL 2023 (Tampa Bay, FL) for the first time! In addition to demos of Comics Plus and hosting a session on dealing with book challenges, we’re also bringing along a small library featuring some of our favorite publishers’ comics and manga that we’ll be giving away to one lucky school librarian at the end of the show!
Over the all-too-short summer you likely had any number of distractions to lure you away from your Comics Plus shelf, but we were as busy as ever adding a whole bunch of new comics and manga to our platform every week. While I can’t speak to everyone’s tastes, I literally look at every comic we add to our ever-growing collection, and every week I pick the featured titles that appear in our curated Recent Additions list. I’m always finding a handful of new titles for readers of different ages and interests that stand out for one reason or another, and starting with this inaugural Summer recap, I’ll be spotlighting a handful of them every month.
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.
Unlimited simultaneous access for schools and libraries drives frontlist and backlist growth through Comics Plus for readers of all ages.
We’ve curated the “Your Next Favorite Comic” collection to help readers discover comics that will be familiar and of interest to fans of popular titles and series like The Baby-Sitters Club, Dork Diaries, Sisters, Avatar, My Hero Academia, and Naruto, and creators like Raina Telgemeier, Roxane Gay, and Keanu Reeves.
We curate high-interest, immersive digital content that helps schools and libraries expand and diversify their collections—without breaking their materials budgets.
Give your readers unlimited, simultaneous access to a diverse collection of digital comics, graphic novels, and manga from dozens of library-friendly publishers.
