Graphic novels - book-length comics - continue to be hugely popular, appealing to reluctant and avid readers alike. Some of the most creative and talented authors and artists in the children's book world today are pursuing this form of expression. I'm excited to announce that Kazu Kibuishi, one of the hottest names in graphic novels thanks to his wildly popular Amulet series, is going to be speaking and signing books at the Bellevue public library! Save the date: Saturday, June 7th at 2pm! Want to read graphic novels but don't know where to start? Start with this list of top choices for K-8 students from the American Library Association!
Goodreads is a great site for tracking your "to read" list, rating books you've read, checking out what your friends are reading and getting ideas for new books to read.
I'm constantly adding to my list of favorite books, all organized by genre. Stop by and take a look at what I've been reading!
We subscribe to a number of useful databases that you can use for homework or just for fun! Check the Information Literacy Resource Board or your student's library class page on My Open Window School for logins and passwords!
Also remember to check out KCLS. The public library has millions of items in many formats for you to borrow. You can also get homework help from websites, databases, tutors and reference librarians!

Lucky for us, it's actually on Saturday, June 7th, so it doesn't conflict with Camp Seymour weekend! =D
Laurie, thank you *so* much for catching that typo! Just updated the post!
