Homer Babbidge Library
Cut, paste, and reflect on the bigger picture?your studies, the world, your relationships, your culture, or just an animal you think is cute (it doesn?t always have to be deep). Materials and prompts are available if you need a spark of inspiration. No pressure, just expression. Your voice belongs here.
Zines are short DIY publications about niche and highly specialized topics. Historically created by and for authors, artists, activists, and marginalized communities to circumvent the gatekeepers of traditional publishers, zines are made to print and share quickly for local readers of all kinds. There are also lots of social media creators who make and share digital zines! Explore this powerful medium for learning, self-expression, advocacy, and researching cultural history.Contact Information:
