However, with the launch of a new collection of graphic novels, the shire's library is hoping it can do just that.

The new graphic novel collection features over 300 titles and includes contemporary and classic titles.

The collection includes a range of graphic novels, including popular Marvel titles such as Captain America, and Spiderman, as well as manga titles such as InuYasha, Naruto, and Death Note.

Other best-selling titles include Riverdale, Stranger Things and The Umbrella Academy.

"Graphic novels are an exciting form of storytelling," Leeton library manager Terry O'Keefe said.

"Through the use of graphical elements such as panels, frames, and speech/thought balloons, readers become actively engaged in the characters and story construction.

"They are important tools for cognitive learning and are rich in visual literacy."

The new collection will be launched with a special online event on October 7 via zoom at 2.30pm and will feature Queenie Chan.

Ms Chan will talk about her experiences as an author, creator, collaborator and fan.

The talk will also feature librarian recommendations, a short overview of the new collection and question and answer time.

Ms Chan is a manga-style comic book artist who lives and works in Sydney and has published locally and internationally.

Her debut work was The Dreaming, a mystery-horror series for LA-based manga publisher TOKYOPOP, which has since been translated into multiple languages.

Ms Chan then collaborated on several graphic novels with best-selling author Dean Koontz for his Odd Thomas series, as well as with Australian author Kylie Chan for Small Shen.

Bookings are essential for this free Zoom event and can be made directly with the library over the phone or in person during opening hours.

Access to this new collection and launch event are free to all Leeton library members.

Library membership is also free and can be arranged over the phone for immediate access to its collections and online resources.
