FREE Comic Book Day

Celebrate Free Comic Book Day at Morris Area Public Library

Get ready for an action-packed day at the Morris Area Public Library as we celebrate Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, May 3, from 9 AM to 5 PM! Stop by and pick up a free comic book, available while supplies last.

Comic books and graphic novels go beyond superheroes—spanning every genre and offering a fun way to improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, and visual literacy. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering the world of comics, this is the perfect opportunity to explore new stories and characters!

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Bring your creativity to life by designing your own comic using our comic book templates, or enjoy a coloring page featuring your favorite characters.

Then, at 1:30 PM, settle in for a special movie showing of The Empire Strikes Back on the big screen! After the film, continue the adventure with a lightsaber craft station—but don’t forget, registration is required to ensure we have enough supplies.

This event aligns with the Morris Area Public Library’s mission to cultivate curiosity, enlighten the mind, and strengthen the community. By offering engaging and educational experiences like Free Comic Book Day, we encourage literacy, creativity, and a love of storytelling for all ages.
