In November 2003, Robyn Young presented “Getting Graphic: Using Graphic Novels in your School Media Center” at the Association of Indiana Media Educators Fall Conference. Approximately 100 people attended this breakout session. Topics discussed were why graphic novels should be used in the school library, the history of graphic novels, what to look for in quality graphic novels, and how to strengthen the binding and maintain the collection. The presentation was well received and Robyn was asked to present it again at the regional media specialists meeting for the Department of Education in February of 2004. |
