My Project

The students in my school love graphic novels, comics, and manga. As the librarian it is my job to provide a collection that is diverse, engaging, and fun! Last year I was lucky enough to have a manga project funded for a new Manga collection. It was a smash hit! The books flew off our our shelves. I am hoping to expand the collection with this project request.

When students read Manga, they are introduced to themes of courage, identity and friendship in ways that engage and inspire.

The vivid characters and heartfelt journeys spark imagination, build empathy, and open up discussions about cultural heritage and personal growth. It’s a powerful tool to inspire young readers!

This year's project is geared toward adding to the existing collection of manga, and filling in holes from books that were damaged and lost last year. I have additionally added a set of Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes classics. Students ask for these books all year long, and I currently do not have any in my collection.
