New In: Cara Josephine - The Official Showgramme

We went up to Edinburgh for a few days of this year's Fringe and were fortunate enough to get tickets to see Josie Long. As we were on our way into the Stand, we were given one of these ace little zines. Josie Long's been making zines for ages, but I think I'm right in saying this is the first one of her's in the library. It includes stuff about music, sea swimming, wealth inequality and loads more.

Josie Long is also the co-founder of the charity Arts Emergency. They do loads of good stuff around supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds so that they can do arts and humanities degrees and fulfil their potential and things like that. That's probably an awful summary of what they do, so have a look at their website and see how you can get involved/help.

New in: Big Donation #1

Look at all these! The lovely Ben Catt has kindly donated a fair chunk of his zine collection to the library. All of these are now in the library for you to read. Includes stuff like Be Honourable by Josie Long, Twigs and Apples and Your Pretty Face is Going Straight to Hell. Plus loads of other neat stuff. Thanks Ben!
