[aisle] Comic Books?

[Huitron, Sofia]

Yes we do! I'm at a middle school, 6-8, see my answers to your questions
below!

Where do you order them? https://www.discountmagazineweb.com/

Which titles are most popular? This year our most popular titles were:
Amazing Spiderman, Avengers, Batman, Iron Man and X-men. I had our students
vote for comics to add for next year and these were the top 3 I'm adding:
Deadpool, Harley Quinn, and Miles Morales: Spiderman.

Do you check them out or are they for in-library use only? Students can
check out up to 2 comics at a time (in addition to their library books),
and return time is 3 days for the comics.

How do you process them to help keep them from falling apart? We ordered
these comic book bags and backing boards
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002W25OGE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s05?ie=UTF8&psc=1>.
The comic and the bag both have the same barcode label. They have held up
really well.

I hope this helps!
