For the first summer in a long time, I am not going to be here, instead pursuing vague plans in Europe and Boston that will hopefully involve me getting a job, the prospects of which are tenuous at best. (The wonderous Lucy takes my place!)
This is just to say, so long, and also to provide a recap of all that was September-May at the Barnard Zine Library:
We got lots of new donations from incredible people! (Megan Gendell, Celia Perez, Thad Harvey, Sharon Druck...)
We were mentioned in another college publication!
Our development policy changed to be more inclusive!
Zines circulated like crazy!
I turned 21! (Okay, that's not technically Barnard Zine related news)
We blogged lots of recipes and fun facts and feminist news!
Jenna spoke at conferences and presented lots of different information about archives and women and zines! and there was a Zine Library (un)conference!
We had an incredible intern, who is smart and funny and amazing!
We made the cataloguing process more accessible to patrons by shelving zines before abstracting and archiving them!
I'll be back in September, and I hope everyone enjoys their summer. Signing off for now, trusty zine readers, writers, and supporters. Thanks for a great year!
