COMO 2013
We tend to think
But they are
● Why graphic novels in general? ● How to build a collection● How do they support the curriculum? ● How to market it
What will we be covering?
So...why images?
Images Rock!

...versus this
We called each other names, over and over again, like “you son of a b*****” and “ni*** lover”

This...

All you need to know is this...
But why the library??
For every book there is a reader
Building the collection...
Partner with...
Start basic...
Have a policy...
Sell, sell, sell!
Just like any other book they can, will, and should support the curriculum
