In the future, we also plan on focusing on better parental controls and filters. This will allow parents to decide what comics their kids can read. By default, we will ensure kids under 13 don't get access to PG-13 without the parents' consent.
If you don't mind me asking, what do you think is the best way for us to engage with librarians? Should we send out some information kits to various YA librarians? We've been chatting with various bloggers and they're generally very excited about the project.
Checked out your site. I liked how you can access content with and without an account. Sorting by most popular was very useful although it took me a moment to see that was down below on my screen. From a practical adult perspective, which is something I don't often provide, more ratings might be good. In my searching I only found one that mentioned age. The site seems to range from kids to tweens so it could be helpful given the large range. As a librarian I am always asked about levels, and age ranges, I don't really buy into the whole thing and really just think reading should be fun, but know that parents like to have a guide, or at least know their kids have something to guide them.
Hope you have a great weekend at Wondercon, I look forward to it, although I'm missing most of Saturday due to work at my library. Duty calls. :)
