PW: Three Will Eisner Library Award Winners Named At ALA

I could rewrite Calvin Reid's story and present it here in some form, but I hope you'll click through the link and read it at PW, because I wouldn't even know it happened otherwise. Three librarians won the second year drawings of what looks to be annual Will Eisner Graphic Novel Award for Libraries presentations at the just-past American Library Association convention in Chicago. The librarians that won work in libraries in Georgia, New York and Indiana. Their libraries get a collection of the GNs nominated for this year's Eisner Awards, the entire backlist from the late cartoonist, and $3000 pledged towards various pro-graphic novel uses. That all strikes me as a very nice thing, and I hope for more good things from a variety of foundations, organizations and institutions as comics begins to build more and more of them.
