Library News

Fall is in full swing at BLAIS and the Milstein Centers: Read on for announcements of new hires and new collections, and an exciting line-up of events - from talks and workshops to a Halloween party!

Zines ASSEMBLE is a two-day online event on Fri 9th and Sat 10th September 2022 exploring zines, zine making, zine research and zine cultures. Barnard Zine Library curator Jenna Freedman will give a lightning talk on the zine corpus she and other BZLers have been working on (notably former paid intern Miranda Johnson and zine assistant Ellie Yousif BC '22/Mailman '23).

Whether you’re on campus, in NYC, or far beyond, we hope you’re making the most of the summer! Read on to learn about news and upcoming events from BLAIS & the Milstein Centers.
