Library EventLet's Talk Books: Graphic Novels

This event has passed. Check the Calendar for upcoming events.

Tuesday, February 14, 2023 - 7:00pm to 8:00pm

02/14/2023 7:00pm 02/14/2023 8:00pm Let's Talk Books: Graphic Novels "Graphic Novel" is a format, not a genre. Graphic novels can be fiction, non-fiction, history, fantasy, or anything in-between. They are similar to comic books because they use sequential art to tell a story. Unlike comic books, graphic novels are generally stand-alone stories with more complex plots. And in a graphic novel reading the text alone is never enough to get the full story. You have to interpret the images for clues on characters and plot development. Let's Talk Books is not a traditional book group. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month on Zoom to talk about our favorite books in a specific genre or on a set topic, and we each come away with some new titles to add to our too-be-read lists.
