“A city's culture is shaped by the contributions of everyone who lives there and we have the books, newspapers, magazines, comics, zines, artist books, journals, plans, novels, chapbooks, and cookbooks to prove it. We strive to raise the visibility of these documents so that communities can have access to their histories, learn to value the stories of their own friends, families, and neighbors, and be inspired to create and participate on their own terms, right now.”
