GRAPHIC NOVELS IN ADULT SERVICES/STICKERS

Most of the fiction in Adult Services is shelved all together except for Mysteries--which are shelved in a separate section and are distinguished by bright yellow stickers with a black "sleuth" silhouette--and Large Print--which include LP Mysteries. Within the General Fiction and Large Print Fiction, a few other genres are recognizable by special stickers: Classics (white with the word "Classic"), Westerns (yellow with red cowboy silhouette or orangey with boots), and Science Fiction (blue with "space" graphic or dark blue with words "Science Fiction" and "space" graphic). Fantasy and Romance do not have stickers. In addition, Christmas books--both Fiction and Non-Fiction--have special stickers: red with a green fir tree silhouette.

The newest genre to have a distinguishing sticker is Graphic Novels--bright green with the words "Graphic Novel". There are only a few, so far, in the Adult section; there are hundreds in Youth Services, most of which are rated "All Ages" up to "Teen". A scan of the shelves found these Adult services Graphic Novels checked in:
