During the 2011 Texas Library Association annual conference, Eduardo Zepeda of the Weslaco Public Library, won the “Great Graphic Novel Library Giveaway” from Dark Horse Comics. Michel Martens, VP of Book Trade Sales of Dark Horse presented the $20,000 award that included 700 handpicked titles. So if Weslaco didn’t have a graphic novel collection before they have one now. Congratulations to Eduardo and Weslaco Public Library. Follow the link to Dark Horse’s site for the story.
