Here is a way that your patrons, that enjoy comic books and manga, can support the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF). Cryptozoic Entertainment is releasing the CBLDF Liberty Trading Cards this week. This Fund helps store owners and individuals that have been arrested for selling or owning comic books or manga that some find objectionable. While some of the titles you yourself might not like the Funds mission is one that library’s should support. The Fund helps defend challenges to the United States First Amendment. The packs have five cards per pack with a suggested price of $3.50 per pack. Inserts within the packs are randomly packed autograph and sketch cards. This could be a program where libraries could purchase some packages for giveaways at their library or purchase a box and sell the packs for $1.00 and then forward that money on to the CBLDF as an additional donation to the Fund. This is a way to show your patrons that not just novels are challenged, but also something they enjoy.
