Graphic Novels and other library news

So, a certain professor has requested the Moebius graphic novels. Check! We have Asterios Polyp and are lucky to have R. Crumb's new Genesis. We're working on the graphic novel and comics collection, so I would like some suggestions.

The library is in the middle of our food for fines drive. It's going well. We're looking forward to our last film of the semester, Christmas Vacation, Friday, December 4th. One of our student workers has taken this idea and run with it. We're not just having a movie, we're having a party, a bake off, an ugly christmas sweater contest. A tree. The works.

We love our beautiful new space.
