Comics and manga are important for supporting independent reading but can also be effective tools for improving literacy, language learning, and reading for pleasure across a broad audience. With increasing availability of classroom-appropriate titles addressing a variety of educational subjects, educators should work with their librarian partners to include comics and manga in their lesson plans.
LibraryPass welcomes the innovative imprint to Comics Plus, offering libraries and schools unlimited simultaneous access.
In “How Manga Took Over the World,” a panel of manga experts — Deb Aoki (Mangasplaining), Frederick Jones (Saturday AM), and Kae Winters (TOKYOPOP) — share their insights on everything you need to know about manga to serve new and avid readers alike. This LibraryCon Live session was moderated by LibraryPass’ Guy LeCharles Gonzalez.
LibraryPass welcomes UDON Entertainment and Saturday AM to Comics Plus, offering libraries and schools unlimited simultaneous access to their digital collections.
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.
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.
