We are a K-8 public school library. I have purchased many graphic novels over the past few years starting out with non-fiction. We have always shelved them in the appropriate section of the LTC like regular books. We have given them all a subject heading of graphic novel so the students can search the OPAC by that term and get a list all the ones we have by copyright. This seems to make the most sense for us with access. They are all very popular across the grade levels but I am very particular about the quality. There is a lot to choose from out there but they are not all equal, of course.

Subject: Graphic novels From: Lisa Woolsey Date: Sun, 06 Jun 2010 08:09:08 +1200 X-Message-Number: 4
One thing that intrigues me about graphic novels in both libraries and bookstores (well, the ones I visit) is that the books are often shelved together, regardless of the topic, genre or age level.
Is this because there are relatively few of them at present? Or do they constitute a genre all of their own? Will they eventually be intermingled with the other books in their classification e.g. science fiction, teen fiction, crime fiction, reference etc?
Perhaps this is just a New Zealand phenomenon. Does this happen in your library or bookstore?

Lisa, the same is true here in the States. There are also specialty bookstores that have only graphic novels and comics. Usually the novels are organized by age-level and sometimes by style. I hope someone will shed light on why this is so.
