May We Suggest: Borrow a graphic novel!
We often remind younger readers that graphic novels count as books, too -- they teach kids how to process visual information and build the same skills used to read traditional print books. But the joy of graphic novels doesn't stop once you reach adulthood! There are all kinds of graphic novels for teens and adults, about a wide variety of subjects.
Here are some recent additions to our catalogue. You can also use your KFPL card to borrow digital comics and graphic novels from Hoopla!
