A new DIY & self-publishing library within Sittingbourne Library, Kent. Looking for zine submissions & for anyone interested in getting involved! 🗣✏️ #KCC

[Holly Casio @HollyCasio]

Since we can't have a physical zine exhibition during #IZM2021 the library team selected zines from the collections which resonated with us and put together a virtual walk-through of some of our most memorable and meaningful zines to us ✂️💙✂️

We may be heading towards the end of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month but the need to raise awareness to tackle prejudice and challenge myths goes on.

📍Where can people buy zines in your city or country?📍

I'm starting to map the zine world again, with a focus on places where people can buy #zines...

Bookshops, galleries, zine vending machines, etc.

[Glasgow Zine Library @GlasgowZineLib]

💖 We've partnered with @beyondbarsuk to operate a pay-it-forward scheme at this year's online zine fair. Attendees at GZF have the opportunity to purchase zines from table holders at the digital fair, and have them donated to BBB.
