My Project

Help us strengthen the WSHS Library’s graphic novel collection! Graphic novels are not just entertaining; they are powerful tools for promoting literacy, creativity, and critical thinking among students. With diverse stories and vibrant illustrations, they engage reluctant readers and offer a gateway to deeper reading and comprehension skills. And WSHS students love them!

Our goal is to acquire a selection of recently published graphic novels that reflect various genres, cultures, and themes.

From classic adaptations to contemporary stories, these books will cater to a wide range of interests and reading levels, encouraging exploration and a love of reading.

Your support will allow us to:

**Diversify our Collection:** Introduce titles that represent different voices and perspectives.

**Encourage Reading Engagement:** Foster a love for reading through visually compelling narratives.

**Support Learning:** Provide resources that align with curricular goals and promote visual literacy.

Together, we can inspire students to discover the joy of reading through graphic novels. Thank you for your support!
