Developing and Promoting Graphic Novel Collections

Miller addresses his fellow public and school librarians on how to develop a quality collection of graphic novels and how to market and program with such materials. After explaining the graphic novel format, he offers advice on collection development, acquisition, cataloging, and collection maintenance and defense. He then explores how to implement programs involving discussion groups, book talks, contests and activities, and speakers and presenters. A core titles listing aimed at younger readers and a description of further resources conclude the volume. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
