We are another week into Summer Learning, and this week we are focusing on some of the amazing Graphic Novels available from the library. Do you love to draw and tell stories? In addition to reading some of the titles on the Graphic Novel Booklist, you can make your own and enter it into the library's Graphic Novel Making Contest. Let your creativity flow in this annual all ages competition, check out last year's winners and hurry with your submission as entries close July 31. In the mean time, here are some of our favorite graphic novels that we put together in the Graphic Novel Booklist and always available online comics on Overdrive and Hoopla.
Graphic Novels for Children

Song of a Blackbird intertwines two timelines and navigates between WWII and modern day. This graphic novel explores themes of bravery, identity, and the impact of history.
