Enki Library/Califa Group Partners with BiblioLabs to Bring VLCC to California

We are happy to announce that Califa Group has partnered with BiblioLabs to bring Virtual Library Comic Convention (VLCC) to California residents! Over 4,000 comics, graphic novels, and children’s materials are available  for free to all residents of California this summer.

This project is a collaboration with 9 other states and is intended to provide easy access to digital resources while also supporting statewide summer reading programs for all ages during the COVID-19 period. More eBooks will be released throughout the summer from additional children’s, comic book, and science fiction publishers.

All of the eBooks are available in an unlimited simultaneous use model accessed via geolocation. The VLCC collection will be free to libraries and patrons in California through August 31st, serving as a valuable tool in statewide summer reading program support for all libraries.
