contents Graphic Novels and School Libraries Rudiger, Hollis Margaret Schliesman, Megan Cartoons School Libraries Librarians Novels Poetry Library Materials Library Administration Reading Material Selection School Policy School libraries serving children and teenagers today should be committed to collecting graphic novels to the extent that their budgets allow. However, the term "graphic novel" is enough to make some librarians--not to mention administrators and parents--pause. Graphic novels are simply book-length comics. They can be works of fiction or nonfiction, and their content parallels the wide range of literature that librarians already collect in other forms, including biographies, poetry, and novels. The term "graphic" in "graphic novel" means highly visual. It does not mean mature or violent content. This article suggests ideas on collecting, cataloging, and using graphic novels in school libraries.
