The American Library Association, National Coalition Against Censorship,
and Comic Book Legal Defense Fund are developing a librarian’s guide to
graphic novels and would like your input. The guide will focus on
graphic novels for adults, but we welcome information on any experience
you’ve had with graphic novels for any audience. Please take a few
minutes to share your experience with us.
Please respond to bbecker@ala.org by Monday, April 11. Thank you!
1) What type of library do you work in?
2) Do you include graphic novels in your collection?
3) If so, how are they catalogued and shelved? For example, are all
graphic novels together, or are they organized by content/age group?
If your graphic novels are not shelved together, in which categories are
they shelved?
4) Have you experienced any problems with or challenges to the graphic
novels in your collection?
5) Do you have any success stories to share?
6) Do you have any tips you think we should include, or is there any
specific information you would like included in our guide to graphic
novels?
