📚 Zine Spotlight🌟

Check out this week's staff pick, recommended by Vivien who works as an Academic Skills Consultant here at Salford.

"My recommendation is 'Poor lass' (issue 7) which is about different people's experiences of racism-one in which the writer found themselves inadvertently part of a far right group and others about having their names mispronounced and instances of 'microagressions'.'"

Find this zine in our library on the ground floor of Clifford Whitworth. Visit the link in our bio for more info on our zine maker space. ✨

Please can you fill in my friend's questionnaire for her dissertation on non-use of public libraries? You just need to live in the UK, be between 18 and 24 years old, not have used a public library in a year or more, and have 15 minutes spare please 📚

⭐Zine of the Week🌟
Catheters in Spring by Betty Quinn

Recommended by Alex, our Library Archivist. See what she says about the #Zine in the comment below

You can find this Zine and many others from our Zine Maker Space at Clifford Whitworth, located on the ground floor 📚

[Salford Uni Library @TheLibraryUoS]

"I found a few copies of this in the Zine Maker Space drop box a couple of weeks ago. It's about living with a catheter. I love how it uses the simple format of a zine to get across a really personal experience that is probably very hard to talk about."

[Salford Uni Library @TheLibraryUoS]

🌟Introducing the Zine Maker Space to Clifford Whitworth 🌟

📝📚 Create your own unique zine with access to top-notch equipment. Get inspired by our own Zine Library and the @SalfordZineLib a brilliant archive of self-published materials.
