Get Graphic

Ten years ago, graphic novels were known by a small but devoted group of people. Now, the graphic novel business has exploded, mainstream bookstores devote large amounts of real estate to them, and most libraries not only collect them, but have manga clubs where teens can discuss them. Schools have caught the fever too, notably in Maryland.

However, there are still those who are trying to figure out a way to get graphic novels into their classrooms, to read them with their kids, to promote them with library customers. A fabulous site no matter where you are in your knowledge of the format is Get Graphic.

Organized by the Buffalo & Erie County library, Get Graphic is beautifully designed with talking points, facts, booklists and news, to help the novice and entice the expert equally. There are pdfs and PowerPoints that can be used.
