My Project

I have a very hard time keeping graphic novels on the shelves in my school library. Graphic novels are really popular among all students and are such great options as they encourage even the most reluctant readers to read! The illustrations add so much to the understanding of the story.

I would love to add some new graphic novels to my collection and replace some of the well loved books.

These books are all various reading levels and interest levels, so every student in my school can benefit from having these books in the library.
