The National Library called up today to say that my copy of Preludes and Nocturnes (Sandman Volume 1) didn't disappear magically from the reservation list. Surprise! It disappeared intentionally. That totally explains it. It's been withdrawn from the library because of objectionable content. Apparently there were complaints on NLB's forums regarding graphic novels-not merely the Sandman series, but GNs as a whole. And guess whose PW group is researching the topic of GNs? No, shit! How could you guess?
Did I mention that our project aim is to bring GNs into school libraries? Jeez, if public libraries object, what chance do we have when it comes to school libraries (which I like, RESOLUTELY believe are more stringent)? Hooray for us. On a (falsely) positive note, maybe that will make evaluating our project easier.
Anyway, my Art in a Box seems to actually be making some progress. My soap bar is starting to look like a flower, which is moderately exciting. Good luck to me.
