Graphic Novels @ Finch Library

We have just added a new collection of Graphic novels to our library! Graphic novels resemble comic books in that they have a lot of visual support and text primarily in speech bubbles. Graphic Novels usually come in series, and have a lengthy plot and storyline, which helps to engage readers to keep reading. They are

sometimes based on popular cartoon series. The visual support and high-interest titles are a great way to reach reluctant readers and readers looking to explore a new genre of literature. With the growing popularity of graphic novels, many new series have been developed that have curriculum links (i.e. Biographies of Canadians, Medieval and Ancient Civilizations etc.) as well as character building and anti-bullying messages for young readers. At Finch, we have selected Graphic novels that have themes that are appropriate for our young readers.
