The children and teen audience at libraries is growing and so is their demand for graphic novels, one libraries have rushed to meet. Robin Brenner, a teen librarian at Brookline Library in Massachusetts, ran an informal study that found almost 87 percent of libraries surveyed had children鈥檚 graphic novel collections and about 83 percent had young adult graphic novel collections.
By contrast, only 64 percent had adult graphic novel collections, illustrating the genre鈥檚 popularity with children and teens 鈥 a popularity that fueled their growth in libraries.
