Posted in General at 12:01 am by Paloma Cruz

It’s not up on their Web site, but the Houston Public Library is getting into the groove of National Free Comic Book Day. I got the info from their enewsletter:

Free comic book giveaway
Saturday, May 6, 2006

Houston Public Library invites children, teens and adults to drop by any branch library to pick up a free comic book in celebration of National Free Comic Book Day, on Saturday, May 6, 2006.

This event is part of a national effort by the comic book industry to increase awareness of comic books available for all ages. The comic books will be provided one per customer, while supplies last.

This free giveaway has been made possible by Houston-based Midnight Comics & Games.
