Engage New Patrons and Drive Circulation with Comics & Manga Book Clubs
Starting a comic or manga book club at your library or school might seem like a daunting task, especially if you’re not personally familiar with the medium, so we’ve put together a free resource, Hosting Comics & Manga Book Clubs, designed to ensure you and your readers have the best experience possible.
While some libraries and educational institutions have toned down the spotlight on available resources, it’s important to remember that the history of marginalized peoples endure through the stories we collectively record and share. Comics and manga can empower readers to choose how they want to engage and explore what Pride can mean.
Over the years, the comics medium has been a powerful force in amplifying a diverse range of voices and overcoming language, cultural, and political barriers. They have also been essential in promoting social awareness — the “ability to take the perspective of and empathize with others, including those from diverse backgrounds and cultures.”
