Whatever Happened to Interracial Love? by Kathleen Collins is also available as an ebook and audiobook.
The second issue of the Library's new community Quaranzine has arrived!
There are two different versions––one is for reading on a screen, and the other has been imposed so it can be printed at home, folded, stapled, and read in that fashion. Select short-side binding on most printers to print correctly.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this zine. Please consider contributing to the next issue, coming August 1!

Hip-hop, defined by Britannica as the "cultural movement that attained widespread popularity in the 1980s and ’90s; also, the backing music for rap, the musical style incorporating rhythmic and/or rhyming speech that became the movement’s most lasting and influential art form", encompasses more than just music.
How do we define Jazz (with so many choices there will, of course, be so many omitted from lists like these)? Britannica defines it as: "often improvisational, developed by African Americans and influenced by both European harmonic structure and African rhythms.
