Hi all, Surprisingly, there’s nothing exactly on point. There are a number of puff pieces (“I love the library, you should go sometime!” style zines), and a number inside-baseball ones about cataloging etc. But nothing about libraries as radical spaces. That said, I did find some great things about critical takes on libraries, and current events/issues from a library perspective. (Big thanks to Milo from QZAP and this list for some tips, and Lee from Sheer Spite zine distro.) Here are some: http://violetbfox.info/disorientation/ https://www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-all/arrested-at-the-library https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bH68C0_s2XEv8kwm-dLcrlrzYskdIdgY/view https://justseeds.org/wp-content/uploads/ThePeopleandtheLibraryFINAL1.pdf https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/14971392 https://librarianswithpalestine.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Prisoners-Books.pdf I’m really enjoying the first on (“disorientation”), and look forward to reading the others.
