Here is how to get free comics from Papercutz for your library

We’re big fans of all age comic books here. In other news cat videos are fun to watch. OK, so both things you already know, but what if I told you there was a free way for libraries to get free magazines just for supporting graphic novel programming? Your library is already one supporting graphic novels and now they can score 100 free copies of Nickelodeon Magazine. It’s the new all ages comic magazine from Papercutz, the number 1 kid’s graphic novel publisher.

Librarians need things that kids want to read. I know that I often head to the library to get graphic novels. It’s a great way to discover new characters, read classic stories or discover entirely new forms of art, like manga.  Now that our oldest is in school I know that he’ll check out any of the all age graphic novels that they have in stock too.

“Librarians have been on the forefront of the graphic novel explosion,” explained Papercutz’s President Terry Nantier, “and forward thinking librarians have tapped in to the interest surrounding events like Free Comic Book day and ComicCon International to attract kids and parents to their facilities. We think it’s an incredibly positive thing for graphic novels in general and we wanted to find a way to ‘give back’ to the community. With the launch of Nickelodeon Magazine this summer, we realized we had the perfect vehicle to promote comics readership and help librarians connect with kids who might be just beginning to become graphic novel readers.”

“Nickelodeon has always been known for creating great comics material,” noted Papercutz Editor-in-Chief Jim Salicrup, “and we’re proud to continue that tradition with our new publication. I’m personally excited by the opportunity to get the great work of our writers and artists out in front of the biggest audience possible. The magazine is going to be a great way for kids to sample our graphic novels and be introduced to some of the fantastic Nickelodeon characters.”

Interested librarians simply need to contact Papercutz VP of Marketing, Sven Larsen (Larsen@papercutz.com) six to eight weeks before their event. As soon as Papercutz receives a librarian’s request (including details of the planned event) they will dispatch 100 copies of the latest issue of NICKELODEON MAGAZINE absolutely free (the library just has to pay for shipping).

“Papercutz graphic novels are already some of the highest circulating titles in libraries ”, explained Sven Larsen, VP of Marketing for Papercutz. “But we’re always looking to grow our audience and the readership for comics. It’s part of why we partnered with Nickelodeon in the first place. The new Nickelodeon Magazine is another great way to get kids started on reading and the perfect introduction to the world of graphic novels.”
