Legend: The Graphic Novel

Whereas June--a military prodigy--is born into an elite family in one of the wealthiest districts,
Day--the country's most wanted criminal--is born into the slums. Their paths cross when
Day is the prime suspect in the murder of June’s brother. As June desperately tries to avenge
his death, she comes to understand that neither Day nor the Republic are as sinister or virtuous
as they seem. Legend: The Graphic Novel is a fun read that not only makes a nice companion
to the original text but is also capable of standing alone as a work. Moreover, reading graphic
adaptations can be employed as a clever means of remaining up-to-date with currently popular
literature without the investment required by the fuller works.

Becoming a Comics Librarian and the Importance of Joining a Community of Practice

Originally published April 5, 2023 Library Developments Blog | Library Development and Networking Division Texas State Library and Archives Commission ***** As a freshly-minted librarian, I was hired to serve at THE high school bearing my district’s name alongside an amazingly zany, veteran librarian who knew the current collection inside and out as she’d been the one to revitalize it with bond money just prior to my arrival. To say that I was intimidated about what I could possibly have to contribute is more than an understatement. So when the moment of truth arrived and I was handed a “small” purchase order to get my feet wet, I. Was. Stymied! Her fingerprints were all throughout that collection, and what she didn’t read our assistant did . How would I ever fit into this team?! What could I possibly contribute?! To be honest… after teaching a core, tested subject for fifteen years, I was just beginning to read young adult literature regularly...

ARSL 2024 Conference Recap

Originally published October 25, 2024 Library Developments Blog | Library Development and Networking Division Texas State Library and Archives Commission Waiting outside Gate 21 where the scent of pizza from the nearby Eastside Pies booth filled the air, I excitedly chatted about the transitional weather with my new teammate – to quote James Hurst “summer was dead but autumn had not yet been born” – the logistics of traveling for work, and our preparedness to attend the 2024 Association for Small and Rural Libraries (ARSL) conference . Neither of us truly knew what to expect, but we had been told that ARSL is THE conference for rural and small libraries, with conference organizers who not only understand the constraints of these libraries but also the unique opportunities for their being chrysalises of change. The conference theme “Libraries are (r)Evolutionary” proclaimed the event aimed to provide an opportunity for exploring the transformative power of rural and sm...
