Help us celebrate the Powell Library’s Centennial!

lisa — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:04:33 +0000

That’s right, 2010 is the Powell Library’s 100 year anniversary. One way we are celebrating is by letting you vote on a new meeting room name. After 100 years of service to the community we felt that the meeting room deserved a more interesting name other than Meeting Room. You can place your vote using the Vote To Name Powell Library’s Meeting Room survey. Only one vote per survey is allowed but you can come back to the website to vote as many times as you like.

Graphic novels aren’t just for kids any more. We’re slowly adding more to the adult collection. So, for something entirely different . . .

Are you a Stephen King fan? Try this graphic serial adaptation of King’s hugely successful novel The Stand. First is Captain Trips. The second is American Nightmares, with more gore to come. Read about the legendary “Man in Black,” Johnny Cash, in this new graphic biographic novel, Johnny Cash: I See A Darkness by Reinhard Kleist. Don’t forget Grandville, a novel that features a wily detective character who always gets his man. If you like them, let us know. If you have any more graphic novel suggestions, let us know that too!
