This presentation will discuss the ways in which the graphic novel medium has become one of the most progressive and inclusive forms of literature. From providing visual representation of diversity, to promoting literacy through non-traditional methods, the graphic novel has become a feminist tool that every librarian should feel comfortable employing! This panel will conclude with a brief RA segment with go-to titles to recommend to your patrons or to the person who orders books for your library’s collection.</font></span></p>
