Library Pass Announcement
Announcing Band of Bards + Library Pass
————————————————————
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
June 14, 2023 (BUFFALO, NY): Band of Bards is proud to announce a new partnership with LibraryPass and their platform Comics Plus! Part of our goal at Band of Bards has always been to cultivate meaningful relationships, and to find new avenues to get our creators stories into the hands of readers. Especially important is finding a partner that shares our values, and who are doing work to better the community.
LibraryPass curates digital content that helps K-12, Public, and Academic libraries expand their reach and engagement—without breaking their materials budget.
They help library-friendly publishers like ourselves reach engaged comic readers through 2,500+ schools and libraries in the US and abroad, enabling readers of all ages, interests, and reading levels to have unlimited access to a diverse collection of digital content via their own school or library.
Comics Plus is a unique gateway into the diverse and engaging world of digital comic books, graphic novels, and manga—with cost-effective unlimited and simultaneous checkouts.
With Comics Plus®, schools and libraries can offer readers unlimited access to thousands of digital comics, graphic novels, and manga from popular publishers like ABDO, Andrews McMeel, BOOM! Studios, Capstone, Dark Horse, Europe Comics, Fantagraphics, Graphic Mundi, Humanoids, IDW, Image Comics, Kodansha, Lerner, Manga Classics, Papercutz, Tokyopop, UDON Entertainment, Yen Press, and dozens more.
No holds, wait lists, or monthly borrowing limits—all at a price that won’t break your materials budget.
“Libraries play an important role in the lives of so many young readers, and the opportunity for us to partner with a company like Library Pass was a no brainer. Their commitment to the Library system, inclusivity, and education fits admirably within our own mantra, Comics Doing Good.”
