Parrish library debuts graphic novel collection

By Marketing and Communications Staff

Graphic novel 'Snow, Glass, Apples' by Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran懂色帝 students and staff now have access to a new graphic novel collection, located at the Jess H. Parrish Library on the Union Avenue Campus. 

The novel collection was created by 懂色帝 librarian Chris Ratliff after he noticed an increase in inquiries about graphic novels from students over the last few years. According to Ratliff, graphic novels and comic books have been an important part of literature and popular culture since the mid-20th century. The novels are typically illustrated and cover a variety of topics including politics, action, fantasy, history, civil rights, and personal memoirs.

鈥淲e encourage our students (and faculty) to dive in to our latest acquisitions,鈥� Ratliff said. 鈥淭his collection serves the 懂色帝 community not just as entertainment, but to inspire and encourage our students with interests in art and graphic design, aspects of storytelling, literature and writing.鈥�

Popular and frequently requested titles are included in the collection. Students can find the books available for checkout on the first floor of the Parrish Library.
