We have graphic novels in the library where I work and they all go to adult non-fiction just to be on the safe side. We are just beginning to add these to our collection and are trying to keep on the lighter side of the genre - like Superman, Batman, and Justice League.

This needs to be called to the attention of the library director. It could have been an honest mistake. A lot of libraries have standing order plans and just get whatever the publishers think are the popular titles. We have a plan like that but I always check the graphic novels before we put them out because like you said too many people think they are all for kids because it's a comic.

I have a problem with just saying that one does not have time If a librarian does not have time to read a book that goes on a shelf for young children, then it should not go there until she does read it. To much trash is being written now and even if one child sees it that is one too many. All whatever would bread loose if my child got something like that off of the shelf for children
