Graphic novel shopping list for a local library
Interesting opportunity came up last week, to suggest graphic novels a public library should purchase. There needed to be a range of genres and a mix of crowd-pleasers and highbrow. I turned to Twitter for help and got a brilliant response, which I passed on to my librarian contact. This is what made it through:
