Project poster

In September 2016 the Wasilla Public Library moved into a new building with dedicated space for graphic novels, comics, and manga. However, the library had no clear goals for how they would develop the collection. This project was designed to create those goals by surveying library users, reviewing current literature on the medium, and developing policies and practices to suit the library's needs. In addition, over 200 titles were suggested for purchase to help build the library's collection.
