New Graphic Novel Collection

Did you know that graphic novels can increase literacy skill and build vocabulary? While for many years, comic books have been dismissed a waste of time, libraries today encourage students to read graphic novels. STRHS has a growing collection of graphic novels, including manga. If youve never read a graphic novel before, you might be surprised at how challenging it is. The plots are complex, the characters multifaceted, and settings will take you to another world. Whether youve been a longtime fan of graphic novels or youve never read one before check out the new collection including V for Vendetta, Death Note, and Maximum Ride.
