graphic novel Graphic Novels:
More Than Comics 
Graphic novels are stories told through art in book form broadly crossing genres and going far beyond traditional "comic books."  The term "graphic novel" began in the 1970s.  The DPL has a FANTASTIC selection of graphic novels for both children, teen, and adults (teen and adult graphic novels are located in the teen section).  They are the ultimate summer read; come see our new display. Here are teen librarian Melissa Rader's top three graphic novels of the year so far:
 
Bayou:  Volume One by Jeremy Love
Wonderland by Tommy Kovac
Into the Volcano by Don Wood

Marcy's Staff Pick:  
 Stargazing with Binoculars
Marcy Gibbons
 It's a bird!  It's a plane!  No it's . . . 
 
The Delafield Public Library has a variety of guide and identification books ready to bring out the explorer in you.  Taking only a snippet of time one can find wealth of things to take you away from the ordinary.  Stargazing With Binoculars by Robin Scagell is a great reference and user-friendly book on observing the night sky.  Content is organized according to star formation in a given month.  Also includes the latest reviews of binoculars.  Can't go wrong!
 
Marcy's staff pick is located in NEW adult nonfiction (523.8022 SCA)
