Graphic Novels: A Gateway for Reluctant Readers

During this one hour webinar, Kyla Hunt, Library Services Consultant for the Texas State Library & Archives Commission, will talk about how reading graphic novels can help build literacy.  She will discuss how and why various types of comics appeal to different reader-groups, from wordless picture books for younger kids to manga for teens.  The webinar will end with discussion of program ideas designed to encourage readers to get excited about the world of comics, and eventually, the world of reading.
