Events › Adult Graphic Novel Club

Connect with fellow graphic novel lovers at our monthly book club for adults, where we explore engaging stories told through art and text. While our focus is on graphic novels for adults, we’ll also explore titles from the teen and children’s collections, because great storytelling knows no age limit!

Each month, we’ll read a new graphic novel and meet to discuss themes, artwork, characters, and more. Whether you're a lifelong comics fan or just discovering the format, this club is a welcoming space for all readers.

Copies of the book are available at the Wilmington-Stroop Branch Library for checkout.

Please Note: Graphic novels can include intense or mature themes. We encourage participants to review content warnings ahead of time to ensure a comfortable reading experience.

This month we will be reading 49 Days by Agnes Lee.

"Day 1. Gotta get up. Gotta keep moving. This map - it says I have to cross over here. Wait, what's that...? And so begins a graphic novel story unlike any other: 49 Days. In Buddhist tradition, a person must travel for forty-nine days after they die, before they can fully cross over. Here in this book, readers travel with one Korean American girl, Kit, on her journey, while also spending time with her family and friends left behind. Agnes Lee has captivated readers across the world for years with her illustrations for the New York Times Metropolitan Diary. Her debut graphic novel is an unforgettable story of death, grief, love, and how we keep moving forward." - Library Catalog
