Today we have one of our locally made zines donated to our collection, all about promoting the use of libraries in Birmingham and generally ringing the praises of libraries (and so we're rather fond of it...) #zinescene_wlv

The sun is out, flowers are blooming and spring is here. Check out ‘The Wild Year’ in our new #zine collection, a set of 4 risograph comics containing a blend of writing, research and drawings about different plants. Part of our new series #zinescene_wlv at Harrison Library 😀
The picture shows three of our recently acquired zines related to nature, with a Zine Scene logo in the top left corner. The three zines are The Wild Year (with a blue leafy cover), Spring Wild (with an umbrella on the cover), and a smaller Spring checklist. The Zine Scene logo meanwhile conjures up a DIY sense of crafting with scissors and sticky tape.
