We have a sucess story

Graphic novels, don't get me started on my opinion of them, however, I wish to report a success story. One of our teen patrons, who has been reading non stop only graphic novels, today surprised me and checked out 3 non-graphic novels, (yes real books). I said wow, nice choice of books today, and she said to me "Yeah, the manga are getting boring". Words of joy to my Librarian's heart. (Doing the Librarian happy dance!)

I will tell you what I have told countless worried Mom's and Dad's, when they come in the Library and say to me, how do we get our kids to read good books instead of junk. I always tell them be patient, and happy that they are reading, in time they will move on to bigger and better things.
