Free Comic Book Day is celebrated all over the United States on Saturday, May 5. Comic books are an original American art form, created in the early days of the 20th century. They feature a wide range of diverse storylines that capture the imagination of the readers, and have survived the dominance of radio, the ubiquity of television, the spread of color and sound motion pictures, the rise of videogames and the Internet. Free comic books will be given away to children and teens at the Children’s Help Desk and at the Information Desk in the Young Adult area throughout the day on May 5 while supplies last. There is a limit of one book per person. For more information, call (562) 916-1342.
