Announcements 

Read Volume 7 Today!

We are happy to announce the publication of Volume 7 of the Library Zine! As New Yorkers, sometimes it’s hard for us to stay out of each other’s way. But that doesn’t always mean we take time to authentically connect with each other. This year’s theme, Stay Connected, invited contributors to explore what it means for us to nurture the ties that bind us to each other, make new friends, and be part of our communities.

Call For Submissions!

Submit to 8th Volume of the Library Zine!

Nobody’s perfect. As we have seen in the past couple of months, our community and our world is still a work in progress. But that is the case with anything that requires strength and effort. We still have more work to do and that is what we are asking in our 2024 Zine Theme. What causes are important to you? What events have transpired, personally or globally, that made you take stock in what’s important to you? Did it make you grow or transform as a person? What can others gain or learn from these changes?
