[ISLMA-Share] graphic books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I use GRA on the spine label and shelve the GRA FIC (which includes manga,
comic, and novels) first and then the GRA nonfiction after that.  Mixing
the manga series with the graphic novels hasn't caused problems for our
students.

With the Spanish and Short Story collections, the GRA collection now fills
part of what was once the reference wall.  A nice little tradition among
our GACME Club (Graphic, Anime, Comic, & Manga Enthusiasts) is to donate
books no longer read to the GRA collection before graduating.  With budgets
as they are, every donation helps!
