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. Hi Adrienne,
