We believe that every library in North Carolina (and in the US) should have plenty of comic books and graphic novels in its collection. Comic strip compilations like Calvin and Hobbes and Peanuts can be found in some libraries, but more should be done to bothe increase and diversify the comics available for patrons of all ages. Kids love comics, adults love comics, Intellectuals love comics, and libraries should offer the resources for readers.
