I checked with my comic book supplier and this is what I know so far:
- He is expecting the comics in on Monday, April 23rd. After processing, he expects to have them ready by Wednesday.
- I will pick them up and get them in the mail towards the end of next week and the beginning of the week after. I ordered 5,000 comics for all the libraries. I’m still working on how many each library will get.
I’d like to know how your Free Comic Book Day goes, so e-mail or call me after May 5th. Tell me if:
- you did any promotion,
- if you set up a display and where in the library it was set up,
- the reactions and comments from the kids,
- and if you knew or were aware of Free Comic Book Day before this year.

we announced it to the Teen Group.
and gave out stickers and hung up the poster.
We just set the comics on the front counter and offer them to the teens.
They thought it was a great idea and was really excited that a library giving these out.
I had never heard of this before but we enjoyed it hope to have a bigger one next year with a program along with it.

Hi Adrienne,
Here’s what the Metro librarians told me:
Everyone thought it was neat!
My customers love free stuff and so do I.
Our Free Comic Book Day went very well. It didn’t take long to give out all the comics.
We should definitely have this event next year.
Apparently one customer asked if we were going to be doing it next month… so I took that as they liked it!
It went really well.
We had a good response to the Comic Book Day. All seemed happy to receive them.
General feed back was, “this is neat” and stuff like that. I believe we should participate in the program next year.
The books without words [Owly] were good to have for our little customers.
The feedback from the customers were that a few of the young readers who are comic book collectors were glad to be receiving them for free. I think it would be good for us to participate in the event again next year.
