Sometime early next year, you might be looking through our Graphic Novel section and see that its a bit smaller than the last time you checked. Or that there's not as many new ones on the New Teen Fiction shelf. That would be because of a slight reordering of how we're classifying our graphic novels here at the library. Technically, there are no changes being made to the teen section itself, but there will be a weeding. Some of our higher-level content will be making a move to a new section, which will be a "general graphic novel" section.
With this change, new materials that would go into the "GN" section will now show up in the new adult fiction section, the shelves to the left of the stairs. This move gives me a lot more maneuverability in my orders, as I can now order and add some content that I've been reluctant to add to a section that is mainly rifled through by the high school crowd, and some amazing materials that I could not pass up getting will have a less worrisome place to be found. So don't lament the absence of some of our best titles, they just needed a new place to roost.
