So the next time you check out a library book, look for the bookplate that identifies Leslie's donations. From all readers at SWAHS we say THANK YOU LESLIE!!!

New York The Big City


Check out the most recent addition to our Graphic Novels Collection, New York, The Big City by Will Eisner. In comic strip fashion, Eisner protrays a series of vignettes that examine nine elements of New York City: The Treasure of Avenue "C," Stoops, Subways, Garbage, Street Music, Sentinels, Windows, Walls, and finally, the Block. Although this book is written by a New York City native the elements he writes about could be found in other big cities. This book has been used as a springboard in high school writing classes.
