We have two new student zine librarians as of fall 2024: Zoë Benavidez BC '27 and Olivia Callanan BC '28. They join existing staff Claudia Acosta, Nayla Delgado BC '24, Zoe Foshee BC '27, Jenna Freedman, and Alex Owens BC '26 along with freelancer catalogers Jade Levine BC '19/Julia Lubey BC '18, and Rhonda Yen Kauffman.
Every month we highlight a different theme that can be studied or enjoyed using our zine library. This month's WGaZfT is tea. With the NYC weather changing (along with the global climate), some of us are switching from iced to hot tea for the winter.
Sometimes you get behind on maintenance tasks. Forgive us webmaster, for it has been TEN MONTHS since we updated the Zines with Online Links page.

The four-part series will culminate at the end of the semester with Barnard’s Scholaztic Zine Fair, where we’ll have a chance to share zines with friends and other Barnard students!
