NEW FOR APRIL

We've rearranged the graphic novels to make them easier to find. There are separate shelves for MANGA, DC, MARVEL, CLASSICS, SANDMAN, GRAPHIC NONFICTION (like biography, true crime, mythology, and the supernatural), and OTHER SERIES A-Z. And all the call numbers start with GN now, instead of 741.5. So..... if you look up Fruits Basket # 7 in the catalog, you'll see the call number is GN MANGA. Then you go to the manga shelf and look for the Fruits Basket series. The series are arranged alphabetically by title. I know this might not immediately sound a lot easier, but give it a try! And let us know what you think.

NEW FOR MARCH

Connecticut's students have spoken! The winner of the Teen Nutmeg award for 2007 is VAMPIRE HIGH, by Douglas Rees.
