Cedar Knolls, NJ – Prepare to enter comics and graphic novels paradise – MAIN libraries are now offering library card holders 90 different titles encompassing over 500 issues of comic books through the RBdigital app and platform. There are no limits per person, but each title can be checked out a limited amount of time per month. Titles can be accessed for 30 days before the system returns it. This is the same app that grants library card holders access to digital magazines.
