Our middle school library is so small that I can easily put all the graphic novels and graphic nonfiction together--and then let the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders fight over the pile. If I put the books into the fiction and nonfiction sections, they just get lost in the shuffle. Displayed front and center on the "graphic" shelves, the books fly. My main complaint is how quickly they die (reach the un-mendable stage) from use.
