Spotlight on Graphic Novels
Graphic novels can be an excellent way to get a reluctant reader interested in books. They are also useful for our student population who struggle with reading because there are significantly less text on each page and there are pictures that will help with reading comprehension. Often, the reading levels for graphic novels are 3.0 or less.
We have over 40 graphic novels in the library. Stop by to take a look!
