Graphic novels have steadily risen in popularity in the last five years. Thanks to this rise, the number of graphic novels being produced today is ten times what it was a decade ago. And we’re not just talking about traditional superhero comics on the rise, but comic nonfiction, manga, biographies, realistic fiction, fantasy and so much more being created today in a comic style format. With this diversity of materials now available, librarians have more questions than ever, including what’s manga? Where do I shelve these? Is the binding really poor quality? What’s a “literary” comic? Do comics rot the brains of young readers? What’s the difference between a comic and a graphic novel? And on an on an on. This webinar is your chance to hear the answers to these questions and ask your own questions form graphic novels guru Michele Gorman, author of Getting Graphic! Using Graphic Novels to Promote Literacy with Preteens and Teens, the newly released Getting Graphic! Comics for Kids, and the “Getting Graphic” columnist for Library Media Connection.
