You can read the whole issue here: https://lnkd.in/eas-aqE9 This special library-themed issue of Future Fantasteek! (ISSN 2399-3022) It is a gift to libraries in gratitude for all that libraries and library staff do for communities, for literacy, and for intellectual freedom. It contains two 16-line poems about books and libraries by Jessy Randall, illustrated by Jac Batey using withdrawn library books, vintage stationery, tippex, index cards, pens and collages. The Tête-bêche format means both zines are bound together with one rotated 180 degrees, making for two front covers.
