Hello

[eileen @eileen3211]

Can't wait to see the The Tale of Genji exhibition at the Met/5th Ave (opens 3/5). Written by an 11th C woman, called the world's 1st psychological novel & big influence on Manga. Make time to see it!

@ReadingRuKaye Never underestimate the power of a shared love of waffles!

@amanda_grinvald @GSLIS_youth Great analysis. The artwork in this book was haunting and strangely alluring...a bit like a creepy fun house.

@hal_schrieve The bed as real and imagined portal to exploration...blankets to cover, comfort or expose. Lots of layers. I had not noticed the repeat of the shark image later when the drawings were burned.

@shericew8780 @GSLIS_youth @wordpressdotcom Very relatable page! Love the quote from Charlotte's Web. Be kind to yourself and get some rest!

@KennHaspel @GSLIS_youth Appreciate the sophistication in the construction of the spread that allow readers a choice in reading sequence without confusing them.

[eileen @eileen3211]

A wordless spread from Blankets by Craig Thompson quietly conveys the themes of the comic.

A review (SLJ-style) of Spinning by Tillie Walden. Figure skating is a tough sport but a twizzle spin still let’s a lonely girl laugh.

@GSLIS_youth @fgoldsmith Pressure indeed! I have noticed a shift in my RA for comics already. I try not to phase questions that can be answered "I don't like graphic novels". Will definitely read Goldsmith.

@EliasHetko @GSLIS_youth I agree with your last point. Normalizing shelving practices for comics seems like a step forward in institutional acceptance but not being able to easily browse is a real loss for a format that is so visual.

[eileen @eileen3211]

@KennHaspel Yeah, we should be way past the genre stage in the professional world by now!

@GSLIS_youth @Tombrarian Outside Recognition: emphasizes that comics as a format are valued and evaluated according to professional standards applied to other library materials; provides tools to use/hone skills to thoughtfully build and promote comics collections.

@GSLIS_youth @Tombrarian Literacy: addressing multiple literacies, including visual literacy, and promoting reading in any format is the heart of the missions of libraries; comics are an ideal platform to address this mission and patrons want to read them.
