BiblioBoard continues growing; Dark Horse Comics and best-selling Indie Rock Stars among new high demand content added to PatronsFirst™ platform
(PRWEB) January 27, 2015 -- In advance of the 2015 ALA Midwinter Meeting, BiblioBoard announces more publishers added to their PatronsFirst™ mobile platform.
