I loved the article “Dreams of Zines” by librarian/archivist Sophie Ziegler in the Louisiana-focused magazine 64 Parishes. They quote Louisiana State University student Adrienne Lewis: “When I visit a new place, I always try to find where the zines are. Every time I find zines, I find my people.”
The second half of the article discusses zine collections in archives and special collections around Louisiana and highlights library outreach efforts oriented around zines. Well worth a read!
