DC Comics Releases its Only Library Card in the West Coast
San José Public Library and DC Comics partner to release a limited-edition library card
San José, Calif., September 20, 2019 – The San José Public Library (SJPL) and DC Comics have partnered to introduce a limited edition DC Comics library card in celebration of Batman Day which is celebrated around the world every year on September 21.
SJPL is proud to be the only library system in the West Coast to offer this limited edition card which features an official DC Comics design of Batman reading a comic book.
This card will be made available to the public starting Saturday, September 21, 2019 at all 25 San José library locations, and will only be available while supplies last. Everyone is invited to pick up a FREE card by becoming a member of their San José Public Library, or replacing their current card with the new design.
Partnering with organizations such as DC Comics allows the San José Public Library to further boost awareness, connect and engage with community members to ensure library programs, services and resources are being accessed by people of all ages and backgrounds. Currently, there are more than 550,000 San José library members, but with the help of partners, the library hopes to continue growing their number of memberships, and one day have every resident become and active user of their library.
