Dear Zine Librarians, If you're attending the Staple & Stitch Art Book and Print Fair<https://www.stapleandstitchfair.com/>, or just want to stay connected to conversations at the intersection of zines and librarianship, please join us for the panel: Zine Librarianship in the Undercommons: Memory, Labor, and Resistance<https://www.stapleandstitchfair.com/events-2025/zine-librarianship-in-the-undercommons-memory-labor-and-resistance> Saturday, November 15, 2025 2:00–3:00 PM CT Gallery 3, Hotel 55, Chicago This panel brings together library workers who create, collect, and circulate zines as tools of resistance. We'll explore questions like: * How can zine collections subvert institutional norms? * What does it mean to center the undercommons in academic settings? * What tensions arise when radical materials enter the stacks? We'll discuss zine libraries as political acts and what they teach us about access, labor, and memory. Hope to see some of you there or in conversation afterward!
