Has your child discovered the graphic novel collection in our library? Have you found yourself wondering if reading "comics" is time well spent? Let me assure you that reading graphic novels is real reading. The most important thing is letting your child find reading that is motivating and rewarding for him/her/they.

Over the course of my career I have seen kids get hooked on reading with graphic novels and then gradually branch out to reading other kinds of books as their tastes mature. Even as their reading palette broadens they often still enjoy graphic novels. There are graphic novels for every age and interest. It's a format that's here to stay so we adults will have to learn to enjoy them too.
