Just last week, I had a student request for manga books, which are graphic
books. The student said that a lot of kids would love to read them, and I'm
sure she's right, but the time it would take to write up several image
descriptions on each page is way too much. I wish there was an easy way to put
those books in the collection, but I sure don't see it! Getting image files
from publishers would allow dyslexic kids to read the books, but not blind ones.

Oh yes, there are lot of children's books called "graphic" books and they are
basically just comics. I doubt the words would even scan. It would take a lot
of work to get one of those into the collection unless the publisher donated at
least the text. And then the pictures would still take a lot of time.
