Cereal Boxes and Milk Crates Zine Libraries and Infoshops
are NOW
I think this zine was written a few years ago, so the
resources may be somewhat out of date, however the discussions about various incarnations of zine libraries and infoshops is obviously still relevant. I am a former public library trustee and can attest firsthand
that the culture needs alternatives to typical public libraries, or perhaps
public libraries need to embrace the zine / punk / comics / art / independent press
and print culture. In a distracted, capitalist, technology oriented world,
people desperately need places to unplug, unwind, connect with one another, and
connect with resources and information they won’t easily find elsewhere. Every
community needs a zine library or an info shop! Google and wikipedia are not
the founts of all knowledge (and definitely not wisdom). Cereal
Boxes and Milk Crates Zine Libraries and Infoshops are NOW is colorful,
well designed and an enjoyable read.
