Graphic Novel Survivor

Just a last minute reminder that tomorrow night (Tuesday, October 21st 2008 from 6:30- 7:30pm) we will have a very exciting program here at the library... Graphic Novel Survivor! This is your chance to have your opinion on great graphic novels heard throughout the country. Yes, throughout the country! Let me explain...

Barbara Moon, a representative from the YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) Graphic Novel Selection Committee, will be with us to hear what YOU think about graphic novels. She'll have with her a whole bunch of books (some you may know, some you may not.) You'll have a chance to look through them and see which ones you like. Through a series of "eliminations" the group will vote on which ones should remain standing in categories such as: best book for younger readers, best superhero book, best manga for older readers, etc.

At the end of this program, Barbara will take your opinions and report back to her fellow selection committee members in order to form an official nation-wide list of great books for teens. There are programs such as this being held in libraries across the country in order to create this list- and your voice is among them!

Come to Graphic Novel Survivor, Tuesday October 21st from 6:30- 7:30pm. There will be snacks and giveaways as well! Tell your friends!!
