My Library’s Circulating Zine Collection is My New Favorite Thing
My town has a new library, and it is one of the best things that has happened to me this year. I’m not exaggerating. The old library was tiny and dark, and it didn’t have the resources it needed to serve the community. The new library, which was under construction for several years, finally opened in July, and it’s everything. I go there to work a few times a week, and I see more people every day than I saw at the old library in a week. It’s big and airy and has about a million things I love, from a fabulous teen room to laptops you can check out to a free puzzle swap table. There’s even a balcony.
But my favorite thing about the new library is the circulating zine collection. Currently, the library has about 50 zines in circulation, although the collection keeps growing. A lot of them are written by people in the community (including me!), although there are some from further afield, too. I’ve gotten in the habit of checking out a few zines every time I’m in the library.
