Calling graphic novel fans! Read and discuss a graphic novel each month! This is meant to be a fun, safe space for everyone to share what they loved (or even hated) about a book without judgement. We’ll conclude with a fun, interactive activity related to the book. Pick up your copy of the book, Santiago! by Jay Hosler, at the Youth Services Desk.
