[aisle] Comic/Manga Subscriptions

[Michelle Glatt]

I'd like to suggest considering a subscription to Comics Plus
<https://comicsplusapp.com/>. It is a Library Pass product, and Mackin is
the vendor for school libraries.  There are versions designed for
elementary, middle school, and high school.
My middle school students sign in with Google and then have access to
thousands of titles (comics, graphic novels, manga). The most popular manga
titles like *My Hero Academia* are *not *included, but kids find lots of
other things to like. There are many familiar titles like *Big Nate *and
*Bone.*This product is unlimited simultaneous use--probably the feature I
am most grateful for. Students read on their chromebooks, but there is also
an app for phones/tablets.
My renewal last spring was about $850 for each of my buildings. One school
has 650 students, and the other has 800. This was with a volume
discount, as all six secondary schools in my district subscribe.

*“*You should be especially nice to a librarian today, or tomorrow.
Sometime this week, anyway.
Probably the librarians would like tea. Or chocolates. Or a reliable source
of funding." - Neil Gaiman
