range of graphic novels available for teens,” said Chair Joy Kim. “From
kung-fu epics to ghost stories to memoirs, this year’s selected titles
represent many genres, styles, and sequential art traditions. We hope
librarians, teens, and graphic novel aficionados will find this to be
a valuable resource.”

If you redeem your cards
through a preferred redemption center, after the card has been in the

From Sarah Hurst April 2011:
“A Native Lad” has been selected
by the Alaska Center for the Book to represent Alaska on a literary
map of the U.S. at the Library of Congress’s National Book Festival
in Washington, D.C. in September 2011. Congratulations! There is an
Alaska booth at the Pavilion of States and it will feature this book.
LADIES,
we know Wanda means well. She has certainly directed this lonely woman
towards quality men. But BOSCO'S managers are very busy. There's work.
And there are comics to read, games to play and cards to collect. Please
respect their time.
