Synopsis

Graphic novels have found a place on library shelves but many librarians struggle to move this expanding body of intellectual, aesthetic, and entertaining literature into the mainstream of library materials. This guide includes: a short course in graphic novels, along with reading lists and professional tools; tips on advising graphic novel readers on what to read next; suggestions for introducing graphic novels to those patrons unacquainted with them; and, advice on promoting your graphic novels collection. With energy and commitment born of professional experience and a deep love for graphic novels, Goldsmith provides the first guide to the genre aimed specifically at readers' advisors, while presenting an abundance of resources useful to every librarian.
