We now have some new graphic novels in the Media Center! Thanks to our adoptaclassroom sponsor, Ms. Sue Whitley, we were able to purchase approximately 20 new graphic novels. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it effectively doubled the size of our collection. The new titles are a good mixture of manga, superhero, and other genres.
It has been interesting to watch student's reaction to the new collection. The books are currently on display just inside the entrance way to the library media center. Some students come in, stop and look at them. When they find out that the books are available for checkout, they are so surprised! "You mean we can take these home, really? We're allowed to read comics (or manga)?" Some students go for the superheroes, some for the manga. Although the circulation hasn't been as high as I hoped for or expected, we've checked out approximately one a day since the new ones arrived, and almost doubled the entire graphic novel circulation stats of last year in less than one term. This is an area that needs to be expanded (good news for all you graphic novel and manga fans).
If you have suggestions for this area, please let me know. Remember all titles must be appropriate for high school. And keep checking the display to see what's new!
