Lubbockonline has a Story on how libraries across the country are beginning to build graphic novel collections because of their popularity and high circulation rates.

Is this a case of building circ numbers at any cost?
Is a librarians job to circulate more stuff, give people what they want, or take the high road and stick with educational materials only that will enrich and improve peoples lives?

\”But you want to talk about do they circulate? Yes, they do. Every day people check out the display. I have people say to me, \’I wish we had this in my library when I was a kid,\’ and that\’s the most gratifying thing for me to hear.\”
