First post - yay

Ok, this is the first post in my new blog. Basically I have started this to support the 'Graphic Novels in Libraries UK' e-mail discussion list.

I decided to start this list because I find the American GNLIB really, really useful. Only a lot of the discussion is not that relevant over here in the UK because the books they talk about might not ever be released over here. It is well worth joining though, just to see how American libraries promote graphic novels. Indeed, I started 'Free Comic Book Day', an anime club and a graphic novel reading group just because I got the ideas from that list.

So hopefully, the UK list will be just as useful especially now that manga and anime are now becoming more in vogue. So if you're interested and you're a library professional or just really into graphic novels in libraries then join me.
