Calling all comic fans… We know you’re always looking for new stuff to get your hands on, and the publishers know it too. So why not check out some of what they’re putting on their websites.
Tokyopop offers a lot of old AND new material – including at least one chapter of every series online.
For those of you who are into the superheros, Marvel is offering over 100 free comics on their site.
And don’t forget the old standby… the Library has your back when it comes to books. Don’t forget to stop in or check out the catalog to see what we offer.
Seventeen-year-old Mia had everything to live for — a loving family, a beloved boyfriend, and her brilliant cello playing (and, very possibly, an acceptance to Juilliard). But everything changes during a tragic car accident. Now Mia hovers near the hospital bed where her physical body lies in a coma, weighing her options. Should she stay?

So if it’s not already easy enough to come to the library and borrow free books, now you can join publisher Simon and Schuster’s new Pulse It site and they will offer 2 new books every month for you to read.
Here’s the catch — you have to register and create a profile, be between the ages of 14 and 18, and you have 60 days to read the book you choose.
After that, you can comment, review or share whatever else you thought about it with other teens on the site.
If you’re interested, check it out.
Fame, beauty, and face transplants. Seventeen-year-old Sara wants so much to be famous that when a legendary, plastic-surgery-addicted rock star offers to take her under his wing and pay for her to have surgery too, she jumps at the chance despite her misgivings. But beauty comes with a hidden price tag. Is Sara willing to pay?
If that’s not creepy enough, Melvin Burgess has taken his latest novel and added another element… vlogs — fictional video blogs (think Lonely Girl 15). Since the main character in the book, Sara Carter uses a video blog, Burgess thought it would be a unique way to bring readers into Sara’s world. The series can be viewed here.
