<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings, Oregon librarians! For the past several months I've been writing spoiler-free graphic novel reviews at
<a href="http://WWW.COMICBOOKLIBRARIAN.COM">WWW.COMICBOOKLIBRARIAN.COM</a>, and I'd like to invite you to avail yourselves of the material collected there! In addition to reviews, I've also got free downloadable training resources for librarians, as well as
links to the educational comic books (yes, comic books!) I've created and co-created for libraries. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Enjoy! I hope these resources serve you well.<o:p></o:p></p>
