Sidney was requested to make the reservation and confirm the details for the event. VIII. New Business A. Graphic Novel Presentation Amy Pelman Amy Pelman spoke to the Trustees about the purpose of graphic novels in the Library collection. A graphic novel is a format that tells stories through the medium of art. This medium improves vision comprehension and often turns reluctant readers into enthusiastic readers as well as, encouraging younger readers to explore more challenging works such as the classics. The high demand for graphic novels especially by teens and younger children helps to increase the Library's circulation statistics. Graphic novels are available in the adult, teen and children's collection. B. The Trustees unanimously approved the revised Collection Development Policy as drafted. M/S/C (McCormack/Corcoran) IX. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 6:45pm M/S/C (McCormack/Corcoran) The next meeting of the Library Trustees will be held October 26, 2010 in the Library Conference Room at 5:30pm.
