on

Kerry Library is now offering free access for library members to a new eComics service, offering hundreds of digital comics and graphic novels, suitable for all ages.

 

All you need to get started is have a Kerry Library membership card.

Anyone can register online for this service using their card and choose from top comics including Marvel, Disney, IDW, Dark Horse and other major titles. There are currently over 500 titles to choose from, aimed at readers young and old.

The new comic service allows you to read comics as you want – either check out titles as a volume or just as a single issue. There are no waiting lists. You can keep the title to read for up to 30 days with automatic return, and there is no limit to the number of comics that you can borrow at any given time.

Comics can be enjoyed either on a PC/laptop or on any mobile device via the rbDigital App available from iTunes App Store, the Google Play Store or the Amazon App Store.

Comics now join the existing range of online services already on offer from Kerry Library including eBooks and audiobooks, online magazines and newspapers, eLearning courses and language learning classes online. These resources cater for all ages and are accessible on a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Meanwhile, for its youngest members, Kerry Library is continuing with its online ‘Spring into Storytime’ initiative. Each weekday throughout April, at 11.30am, they will be sharing on their social media pages, a storytime video recorded by librarians throughout the county.

A new feature film, created by Irish writer and director Liam O Mochain, is set for release in Killarney next Friday, November 7.

Mr O Mochain said he is delighted to bring ABODE to a Killarney audience following its sold out world premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh and a screening at the recent IndieCork film festival.

ABODE is a feature film with five stories connected by the theme of home and what it means to the different characters in the film.

It shows that home has an importance and a different meaning for everyone.

In ABODE, everyone wants to belong somewhere. The film was shot over a three-year period and finished in early 2025.

O Mochain says that the stories are a mix of drama and comedy, inspired by true stories, events or incidents.

It is set on the theme of home which is very relevant today.

Ryan Lincoln, Sophie Vavessuer, and Liam O Mochain are among the cast.

ABODE is O Mochain’s fourth feature film. His 2017 feature film ‘Lost & Found’ screened at festivals around the world from the Galway Film Fleadh to the Austin Film Festival
