I'm super excited. September is Comic Book Month at Auckland Libraries, which means we get a whole month to celebrate one of my favourite storytelling formats. There's plenty to sink your teeth into, with competitions and events galore. Show off your art skills and enter our create a character competition. There are some great prizes up for grabs in four age groups, which means that anyone can enter. That amazing picture to the left is of last year's winner, and we've used it on our posters and fliers - so not only are there prizes on offer, but fame too is up for grabs!
If art isn't your thing, and you just want to get reading, all you need to do to enter our other competition is borrow five comics, graphic novels, or manga. You'll go in the draw to win a cool prize, and the top 5 readers in Auckland will also get their hands on some goodies.
There's more information about these competitions and events on our website, or you can come into the library and ask your friendly neighbourhood librarian! Keep tuned throughout September for comics recommendations and reviews.

Another awesome month to celebrate. I'm really looking forward to catching up on some of the recent graphic novels that have landed in the collections from the recent - from the new titles page - http://www.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/EN/New/Pages/NewBooks.aspx
PS Look out for librarians dressed as superheroes and other comics characters on the 12th. (And if they aren't in costume, ask them what their excuse is.)
