COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY
At LibraryPass™, we believe that comic books, graphic novels, manga, and picture books offer an incredible opportunity to engage readers of all abilities and ages, and Comics Plus® is our unique gateway into that diverse and engaging world. Our staff includes experienced teachers, librarians, and publishing professionals, and we fully support the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights and Freedom to Read Statement, all of which informs our Collection Development Policy, which includes our age-appropriate guidelines.
Our collection development policy focuses on providing a broad choice of materials to meet the informational, educational, cultural, and recreational needs of readers in schools, public, and academic libraries, while applying consistent age-appropriate guidelines across our overall collection to support librarians and educators’ varied needs.
Our content selection criteria includes:
- Popular interest based on national trends and circulation statistics
- Circulation of similar topics, titles, series or creators
- Customer and/or reader demand for specific subjects, titles, publishers and creators
- Representation of diverse cultures, experiences, and points of view
We strongly encourage input from our customers, readers, publisher partners, and other stakeholders. All requests for title additions are subject to our selection criteria and age-appropriate guidelines, and are not automatically added to—nor removed from—the platform.
