We love Graphic Novels

And so do you. We put out many of our newest graphic novels in the display under the bookcase and have noticed they’re being borrowed! And when they come back from you, they often go into the stacks, aka our regular books collection.
If you want to browse more graphic novels, go upstairs to the literature section of the library and browse call number PN6727. That’s where many of our graphic novels are located. You can also search CUNY+ using the keywords “Comic books” or “Graphic novels.”
