Get Graphic @ Wadsworth Library

The graphic novels are here! Wadsworth Library was awarded a $500 grant from Pioneer Library System allowing us to add over 40 new graphic novels. Now that they are here we want your input! Do you have favorite series, characters, or individual titles? Are there graphic novels that we didn't purchase that you would like to see here at the library? Now is your chance to give us feedback.

For each graphic novel that you read from now until the end of August fill out a graphic review form and put it in the jug. At the end of the summer we will have a drawing for a $25 gift certificate to Joe's Comics in Geneseo.

For titles of recently purchased graphic novels check out the posts below.

The more you review the better your chances to win!
