It's likely no surprise that the most browsed part of the library collection is the shelves holding our graphic novels. Unfortunately, it's also one of the smallest parts of the collection. With a lot of online support and talking with other librarians, slowly but surely the graphic novel collection is growing with recent purchases.
First, a subscription to Junior Library Guild's graphic novel collection brought several books, including these four, among others:
The majority of new graphic novels, though, came with a generous grant through the Casey's Corporation.
With funding secured, many of the graphic novels and manga that students had requested and that were on existing wish lists became a reality! And, in a strange turn of events, it turns out that a large distributor of graphic novels and manga is located right here in our town--Right Stuf Anime.
Using Right Stuf Anime, along with other vendors, we've been able to nearly double the existing graphic novels/manga collection in the library. So, what titles were added? You can take a look at some of them below:
These featured titles are just the beginning of intentional actions to grow the graphic novel and manga collection. Many more books will be added over the remainder of the school year, with additional purchasing to take place over the summer. Be sure to visit often to see the latest additions!
