Bathers Library Newsletter #18

Fundraiser, June Minimag, Queer Cinema for Palestine, and more!

Thank you!!!

Hello all! It’s June! Reading groups are in full swing, as is our current season of artist Cohort groups! We have some fun events on the horizon too. But before we get into that I want to say thanks to everyone who came out to our first ever fundraiser party on May 15th! It was so fun to see everyone and to have such a truly community-centered event. We had lots of help from Beo Beo for snacks, Quirk Social for drinks, and from rad volunteers the night of the event! Thanks again to our performers, Quinn Edlin, Nightjars, and Kim Ip! And thanks to all the artists/chefs/performers/publishers/friends (Jenny Odell, David Horvitz, Brittany Newell, Alexis Madrigal, Vivian Sming, Sean Talley, Marcel Pardo Ariza, and Gracie Schatz) who donated prizes! Thanks to all your support, we raised just about $5000, which will go to our programs, residencies, publishing projects and library!

JUNE MINIMAG IS OUT!

This issue is so good! We have new writing from Emily Kramer and Coco Picard, plus an interview with Aleah (the creator of TENDER zine), rad collaborative artworks created by our minimag team, and as always, a busy bay area events calendar.

Pick one up next time you’re at the library, or let us know if you’d like us to bring a stack to host at your space/gallery/workplace/etc.

And join us this Thursday for a casual release event from 6-8pm!

SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN for our upcoming issues! Send reviews (of anything!), interviews, artworks, and events! Submit here!

UPCOMING

HOURS

Just a heads up, our hours have shifted a bit! (Nobody ever came by on Thursday afternoons!) We’re now open Fridays 12-6 (with storefront) and Saturdays 12-3 (library only). (And of course, during events). Come by and casually co-work or browse the library!
