Free eComics service now available from Kerry Library
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.
Follow them on Facebook or Twitter @KerryLibrary to listen to the story and afterwards visit the library website www.kerrylibrary.ie to download linked craft ideas and activity sheets to go along with the stories. Enjoy the discovery!
