The GNCRT Addressing Comics Challenges Community Zine Project, is designed to help spread awareness about the important work library workers, educators, creators, and communities do to support the freedom to read by creating and submitting original zines. Zines are independently made, creative works that encourage self-expression, making them the perfect medium for library workers to share their own stories.
Help spread awareness about the important work library workers, educators, creators, and communities do to support the freedom to read by reading and sharing these original zines.
- Everyone has a story they can share to help us all fight censorship.
