The document discusses the Metropolitan Museum of Art's growing collection of graphic novels and manga in their library. It notes that the Thomas J. Watson and Nolen Libraries started intentionally collecting graphic novels and manga in 2010. The collection development policy was updated in 2013 to state that graphic novels and manga would be selectively acquired based on their relevance to the museum's collections, art history, and importance to the genre. It provides examples of graphic novels that have been collected and contact information for the library.
