Thank you for this moving and thoughtful message, Holly. I remember seeing
those pre-lockdown cataloguing sessions listed on Eventbrite and always
being a little bit sad that I wouldn't have time to get the train into
London after work to join in. Although digital events have their downsides
too and I'd never have wished for the circumstances that led to this, I'm
so grateful and glad that I've had the opportunity to find my way into this
collective and get to know all of you.
Sending good wishes and looking forward to our next catch up as always!

Hello Holly (and all),
Thank you very much for your lovely email. It put a smile on my face.
I remember my first meet up last year in the Mayday Rooms on Fleet Street
and felt so happy afterwards.
I am so happy that I am part of the QZL and that I met all of you. I love
our meetings and chats and being part of the QZL really helped me to get
through the last year and I am so happy that I read a lot of cool zines
last year and will continue to do so.
I am really thankful that I can be part of QZL.
Thank you for this email Holly and I hope everyone is well and hopefully
at some point we can all meet in real life :-)

Just reflecting as it's a been whole year since we had to cancel the
queer zine library tour and it's exactly a year ago today since most of us
were all in the same room at a cataloguing workshop at Mayday Rooms in
London
While it's really sad that the library has been in storage and obviously
I would love to be in a room with you all, I'm really proud of everything
we've been able to do. Finding a free and accessible venue in London for us
to meet up and catalogue each month was impossible and although online
sessions aren't as accessible as we would hope it has meant that we can at
least have regular monthly sessions and move on from that initial intro to
cataloguing to a point where we are cataloguing like total pros now!
Anyway just wanted to say I'm proud to be in the qzl collective with you
all, the library wouldn't exist without you all and it's been a very
strange and horrible year but you are all wonderful.
End of feelings
Holly
