Zine Collections in Los Angeles!

Los Angeles Public Library Catalog listing Passages' students' zines

Back in December my Belmont colleague Jessica Ernyey, English Language Arts teacher, approached me about collaborating on a zine mini-unit with one of her groups. 

We were celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month then,  but due to Covid concerns we were foregoing the traditional food-oriented event planning.  Then Ms. Ernyey requested we do some zine-making centered around favorite foods and so we co-planned some lessons.  As the students became engaged in zine-making, I happened to learn about the Los Angeles Public Libraries zine collection through this article.  

We discussed it with our zine makers and with their permission we submitted their work to the LAPL collection.  And so now we're proud to say their zine work is part of the circulating collections at several public library branches in Los Angeles - check them out here and here! --Jessica Fenster-Sparber
