Calling all comic fans, curious readers and superhero enthusiasts: Free Comic Book Day is back at San Mateo County Libraries!
Every year, Free Comic Book Day unites libraries, comic shops and publishers to share the fun of graphic novels and give away free comics to readers of all ages. This year, the fun officially lands on Saturday, May 3, but some of our libraries are keeping it going on Sunday, May the Fourth (Star Wars Day) and even Monday, May 5 (“Return of the Fifth”). Check your local library’s event listing for dates, times and activities—and don’t miss your chance to grab some free comics while supplies last!
Comics at Your Fingertips—Anytime, Anywhere!
With your library card, you can explore a fantastic collection of digital comics for kids, teens, and adults—featuring favorites like Hilo, Phoebe and Her Unicorn, Cat Kid Comic Club, The Okay Witch, City of Dragons and many more. Just log into Libby/Overdrive, Hoopla, or Boundless to browse everything from superhero sagas to laugh-out-loud adventures, plus eBooks, audiobooks and more!
