Where are librarians putting graphic novels. Most of the books come pre cataloged
in the 741.5 category. However, as the number of graphic novels grows
exponentially, that area of the "non-fiction" section is being over run. I predict
that history is going to repeat itself and we will eventually be pulling these
books and re-cataloging them into the fiction. Logically, to the children, they
are FICTION. Then why aren't they in the fiction shelves?
Your thoughts please!
