The library has had graphic novels for many years, but now has a trunk with the latest monthly editions of favorite titles.

Take a stroll to the back of the library and to the periodic section is a new trunk with 24 titles. LT presents all favorite characters: Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Batman, Spider-Man and Captain America, along with less famous characters such as Morbius and Supergirl.

There is also a new comic book club for teens.

“With teenage book clubs, it can be hit or missed. There are so many genres and sub-genres, but making teens enter the library is one of our biggest things, “Mills said. “What we do for the comic book is that we create certain comics, read them and then discuss. It’s really fun. “

He said they could also bring their own comics. The first meeting was in January.
