“I very much enjoy the wide selection and ease of use, and I know that patrons who are getting started with it are feeling the same way! I’ve heard a lot from other librarians and library workers that they love it as well!” Arkansas

“Overall, I am happy with Comics Plus, it offers unique titles from important but smaller publishers. It offers another option for our comic readers who are a growing group within our library. I like that the titles are immediately available. The administrative side of comics plus is easy to use.” Pennsylvania

“Comics Plus staff have been supportive and helpful when issues arise; the product has been popular with our staff and users.” Oklahoma

“From a Collections librarian point of view, it has been very positive. The patron feedback and usage has been consistent and gradually increasing.” Australia

School Librarians

“Fantastic! The kids love that they can all read the same book at the same time if they like. They love the books in Spanish and that they can find current, high interest reads.” Elementary School, Texas

“I have found that Comics Plus is a positive addition to our reading selections and that it offers a variety of books that I could not afford to buy individually with my budget. Great bang for the buck!” Middle School, South Carolina

“The process of getting us up and running was smooth and staff was very helpful. The selection is perfect for our needs. Students are able to find some titles that we have in print and like that they can supplement with this when our copy is out. They also seem to like having completely new to them options we don’t have.” High School, Maine

“The support for implementation has been wonderful! I appreciate all the documentation, support and training!” School District, California

AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

“The ability to provide instant access to digital materials is a key differentiator for Comics Plus. Instant access establishes credibility for Comics Plus among Gen Z patrons using school libraries and who are accustomed to Amazon’s Comixology or apps like MangaFox, Webtoon, and CrunchyRoll, subscription services that provide access to manga and anime.” [Digital Public Library Ecosystem 2023]

SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

“The most important feature of Comics Plus is that it offers unlimited, simultaneous access to its materials. Readers of all ages have faced the disappointment of discovering that the books they want to read are not available on their library’s shelves, because they are checked out, missing, damaged, or unavailable. Being able to offer a service in which a small reading group, an entire class, or an entire grade level can read the same book at the same time with no waiting period is an absolute game changer.” [FULL REVIEW]

“Comics Plus is an excellent resource to build and expand both sequential art collections and public awareness of the format’s diversity and appeal. The content is broad, deep, rich, and nuanced and offers high-interest options for dedicated and novice comics readers alike. Supporting resources, including the featured lists and category tags, provide support for library staff and an opportunity to increase community access to the format. The LibraryPass platform works almost intuitively and has been designed with clear library utility awareness.” [FULL REVIEW]

“It is important to consider that there are no waiting lists, titles can be read an unlimited number of times by multiple users simultaneously, and the ‘granular title control gives administrators the power to customize Comics Plus to suit’ readers’ preferences.… Highly recommended. General readers, lower-division undergraduates, and two-year students.” [FULL REVIEW]
