Celebrate Free Comic Book Day at The Indianapolis Public Library

On May 6, 2023, the Indianapolis community is invited to stop by any Indianapolis Public Library location to pick up a free comic book, while supplies last. No Library card is required to pick up a comic book, and IndyPL staff will be on hand to help guests make their selection.

Guests will be able to choose titles from popular franchises including Star Wars, X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Animal Crossing. The Library’s local partner for this annual, nationwide event is Downtown Comics, which generously donated comic books.

“The comics industry has pulled together Free Comic Book Day events since 2002, and I’m glad The Library can be a part of it,” said Devery North, school age and family program specialist at The Indianapolis Public Library. “Reading comics and graphic novels can motivate kids to read and improve their literacy skills all while exploring great stories.”

Beech Grove was the first IndyPL location to host Free Comic Book Day. Since then, the program has expanded to all 24 IndyPL locations.
