Like Graphic Novels?

The Library Media Center currently has two tables of graphic novels on display until the end of the month. We have one table of non-fiction titles on the coffee table near the quiet reading chairs. There is also a table of fiction graphic novels next to the new fiction bookcase. Feel free to stop by and check them out.

How do I find graphic novels in the library?  1) Go to Destiny Quest and look up "graphic novel" as a keyword OR 2) Go to Destiny Quest and look up our resource list titled "GRAPHIC NOVELS" OR  3) While browsing the bookshelves look for books with a red "GRAPHIC NOVELS" sticker on the spine.

Below is a sampling of some of our more recent graphic novels:

Along the way, the company faces trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and worse. But in the end it is Bilbo alone who must face the most dreaded dragon in all Middle-earth—and a destiny that waits in the dark caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, where a twisted creature known as Gollum jealously guards a precious magic ring.
