About the zine

Reserve and Renew is a collaborative zine, featuring submissions from people around the world. Contributions are welcome from anyone involved in “big tent” librarianship, archives, or museums, including those who work or volunteer in a library or archive or museum (currently or formerly), those working towards an LIS degree, or anyone otherwise involved in library or GLAM-related work. Anonymous contributions are welcomed. Contributions are published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license (CC BY-NC 4.0).

We request a $5 donation for each copy of the zine. As of 2023, all donations will be sent to BEAM (Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective), a national training, movement building, and grant making institution that is dedicated to the healing, wellness, and liberation of Black and marginalized communities.
