What is it?
The Little Zine Library is a traveling collection of small, handmade publications called zines. It moves around campus and the community to different spots throughout the semester. Created by local artist Emma Ryan (@hues_of_bluez) in collaboration with Lehigh University Art Galleries.
Why zines?
Zines are for everyone. They are easy to make, share, and trade with no special tools or training needed. They offer a way to express ideas, tell stories, share resources and research, or create just for fun.
Who can add to it?
Anyone! Make your own zine and drop it in the library. Take one that inspires you. Leave one for someone else. Browse, trade, and contribute however you like.
How to participate (any or all!):
- Take a zine of your choice from the library.
- Make your own using any materials you like.
- Drop it back in the library to share with others.
Find it around campus and take one, leave one, or make one!
