The Forest Park Public Library aims to develop a young adult graphic novel collection that meets the needs of the community. Selection will focus on patron interest, teen issues, reviews, ongoing series, currency, price, and shelf space. Materials will represent multiple viewpoints and not be excluded based on author attributes or content. The library will acquire new varied materials and series to maintain interest, while avoiding duplication with the adult collection except where strongly relevant to teens. Weeding will keep the collection current, attractive, and useful through ongoing assessment of materials for removal due to condition, accuracy, space, duplicates, disuse, or lack of interest.

The Orange Public Library Collection Development Policy outlines priorities and procedures for curating library collections and resources. The policy aims to meet patron needs through a collection of 150,000 items including books, audiobooks, periodicals, videos and CDs. Collection priorities focus on bestsellers, children/young adult titles, and expanding Spanish/French materials. The reference librarian, children's librarian and library director are responsible for selection recommendations and decisions based on professional reviews and awards. Donations are accepted according to policies for weeding outdated materials and addressing patron complaints.Ad
YA Graphic Novels collection development
- 1. Introduction Young Adults Graphic Novels It is the policy of the Forest Park Public Library to maintain and share a collection that meets the needs of our community. This collection development policy serves to guide library staff in the development of the young adult graphic novel collection, including guidelines for selection and weeding, and guiding principles in the development of the collection. Selection Plan 1. Materials will be selected with an emphasis on: - Patron Interest - Relevance to teen issues - Input from critical reviews and reliable review sources the library consults - Attention to ongoing series the library already maintains - Currency of publication - Shelf Space - Price 2. An effort will be made to include materials representing multiple viewpoints. No material will be excluded because of the race, nationality, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or political or social views of the author. Materials will not be excluded due to content as long as they meet the criteria for selection. 3. The library will focus on acquiring new and varied materials and series in order to maintain patron interest in the collection. Effort must be made to stay aware of what our teens are reading and want to read. 4. Effort should be made to avoid too much duplication with the Adult Graphic Novels collection. Duplication in the event of strong teen interest or relevance to teen issues will be acceptable. Retention and Weeding A current, attractive and useful collection is imperative in maintaining a graphic novel collection that will circulate well; this can be obtained by consistent maintenance through the selection, weeding and replacement of materials to keep the collection up-to-date. Materials in the collection are assessed on an ongoing basis. Materials may be removed from the collection due to a variety of factors including but not limited to a deteriorated appearance, inaccurate or outdated information, space constraints, unneeded duplicates, disuse, or lack of interest.
