At a ceremony held at the American Library Association Convention in Chicago, three librarians were awarded the second annual Will Eisner Graphic Novel Award for Libraries. The libraries where each of them work will each receive a collection of the graphic novels nominated for the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, presented each year at the San Diego Comic-Con International, the entire Will Eisner backlist, a $2000 voucher to purchase graphic novels and a $1000 for a comics-related event at their libraries.

The winning librarians are Julia Simpson, branch manager of the Auburn Public Library in Georgia, Jude Shanzer, director of the East Meadow Public Library in New York, and Beth Adcock, librarian at the Middlebury Community Public Library in Indiana.
