Purpose of Collection
Graphic novels are included in the TDRL collection for educational purposes including curriculum application, reader identity development, bibliotherapeutic uses, and to promote the love of reading.
The TDRL strives to create inclusive collections which reflect a wide range of stories, settings, and topics relevant to the diverse identities and needs of the P-12 students in our communities.
NOTE: It should not be assumed that because these titles contain “cartoons” that they are age appropriate for all students. It is recommended that titles be individually evaluated for developmentally appropriate content before sharing with youth audiences.
