Second, Booklist's July Issue is a spotlight on Graphic Novels and Book Discussions. I would like to help you get quick access to the most important things from the issue, but please note, access to the entire issue digitally is completely free at BooklistOnline.com.
- There is a standalone Guide to Graphic Novels available with this month's issue. You can access the table of contents here. I cannot stress enough that ALL of it is worth your time.
- Also, not part of the separate guide, but the main magazine-- Core Collections: Women in Focus in Comics.
- A great article by Stephen Sposato [Chicago Public Library’s Manager, Content Curation] that contemplates Book Discussions in a time of crisis.
- Click here for 2020's Top 10 Graphic Novels for adults and the link pulls up past year's lists too. All great for suggestions.
- Top Ten Book Group Books 2020. Also click here to pull up 2019 and 2018 too. [Backlist bests are PERFECT for book clubs because there is no wait and they have been proven winners!]
- A specific list for Top 10 Book Group titles on Audio. I am a huge proponent for having at least 1 person in your group listening to the book because it adds to the discussion....ALWAYS.
- Please check out the webinars page and the archived webinars page. This month there are webinars for Graphic Novels and Book Clubs. All webinars are recorded and archived here and can always be viewed for FREE after the event date. [Graphic Novels Part 1 is today at 1pm Central for those reading this the day it goes live.]
Finally, Rebecca Vnuk, Executive Director of LibraryReads, has a great column this month, "Booklist Backlist: Family Dynamics."
Every single one of these links I am sharing in today's post is worth your time. These are resources you can use immediately, and all in different ways.
