Library highlights Comics Plus digital service through CCRLS as resource of the month
The board was introduced to Comics Plus, a digital comics platform recently added to the library’s digital resources through CCRLS funding. The director described how Comics Plus differs from other services: there are no holds, no waiting lists and no limits on the number of simultaneous checkouts, which staff said makes it well suited for fast-moving comic and graphic-novel releases.

The director told the board that the collection is linked on the library website in separate children's, teen and adult collections so patrons' account types control access to age-appropriate content. She said CCRLS paid for the shared subscription and that the consortium arrangement provides a better price than a single library purchasing access alone.

Staff plan to add QR codes to the physical graphic-novel stacks—separate codes for children, teens and adults—so patrons can access the appropriate Comics Plus collection from the shelf. A board member asked how the service manages publisher relationships and availability on the back end; staff said they were not sure of the technical details but praised the service’s availability model.

The board asked staff to include Comics Plus in the library newsletter and to add signage; staff confirmed the resource has already been promoted in the newsletter and that additional in-library signage is planned.
