The Plainfield Public Library has now put graphic novels in the foreground by shelving them near the entrance.If you remember Nancy and Sluggo and various action heroes but aren't sure what this new format is, here is an explanation.
I actually own two graphic novels, WIZZYWIG Volume 1: Phreak and WIZZYWIG Volume 2: Hacker, by Ed Piskor. Both were fundraising premiums from Off the Hook, the hacker radio show on WBAI which airs at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays.
On my visits to Seattle, one of my favorite places is the Kinokuniya Bookstore inside Uwajimaya Village. I like the pens and notebooks, but there are also hundreds of anime and other graphic books.
It's worth a dip into the world of the graphic novel to learn more about it and now the library invites you to take a look.--Bernice Paglia
For anyone interested in reading a graphic novel for the first time, I would highly recommend this as a starting point.
