“The Borough is My Library: A Greater Metropolitan Library Workers Zine” is an exploration of the bibliographic undergrowth of New York City through the eyes of those at work in independent libraries, academic institutions and in the streets. Featuring day-in-the-life comics created by zine librarians, narratives of those who started their own collections from scratch, and other works that explore the library microcosms within the city. With works by members of the ABC No Rio Zine Library, Books Through Bars, Branch Project, Radical Reference, Reanimation Library and more!
“The Borough is My Library” will be available for purchase at the upcoming Biblioball (come and get it!) as well as via the editor/producer/master mind behind the zine, Alicia Sellie. Proceeds go to Literacy for Incarcerated Teens.
