GRAPHIC NOVELS ASK ‘CAN WE GET SOME AWARDS HERE?’

Both A Fuse #8 Production and Educating Alice recently wrote about what is becoming an increasingly gaping hole – the lack of ALA recognition for graphic novels and other illustrations-added books for young readers. An interesting debate, to be sure. Click here to read the Fuse #8 Production post. Click here to read Educating Alice post.
