Statement from #ZLuC2025 Organizers: “We are sad to report that the Zine Librarians unConference was attended by a non-zine librarian in bad faith. She recorded the event without permission and posted her recordings. Please read the organizers’ statement about the violation.”

text reading "Buy a set of 5 zine-related postcards for $15 to support BIPOC zine librarians!" surrounded by five very cute and brightly colored postcards. They show a cat sitting on a stack of zines with text reading "Welcome to the zine zone"; two birds exchanging zines and text reading "zines are for everyone"; a meander-fold zines with instructions and drawings of various zoo animals; a person reading in a room with a cat, dog, and many zines; and cute possum making zines.

If you're a zine fan who likes to send snail mail, we've got a treat for you—5 zine-themed postcards! We're raising funds for the BIPOC Travel Fund for future Zine Librarians unConferences @zineluc and you can help by ordering a set of 5 zines for just $15 (shipping within the U.S. included).

The Zine Librarians unConference is an inspirational, informative, and fun gathering of people who care deeply about zines, their preservation, and their ability to change lives for the better.

This year’s event will be held online on Saturday, November 8th and Sunday, November 9th. An unConference is a participant centric conference that is more concerned with the value to the participants rather than the value for the sponsors or organizers.

#ALAAC25 The Library Marketplace is calling! There’s still time to explore—but not much—the Hall will close at 2:00pm today. GO explore, connect, and collect!

Feeling left out in the academic setting? Do not fret! Learn about how you can bring Zines to academic libraries and higher education in general. 💜

Come to the @zinepavilion on Sunday, June 29th, at 1:30 p.m. (EDT)!

"Whether you’re looking to create a pop-up zine collection in your library,

We are doing our first ever live show! If you are in town for ALA or just lucky enough to live in Philly! Tickets are limited and very reasonably priced so grab them now! www.eventbrite.com/e/librarypun...

Spread of zines, buttons, posters, zines, and doughnuts

Doughnuts at the Copyright Booth (right by registration!) are waiting to be eaten! #alaac25

(Also coffee! Zines! Stickers! Conversation!)

We’re back for day two of #alaac2025! Come by to talk about 80s movies (and check out our new banner)!! @zinepavilion

Hi friends! We are tabling all weekend at the American Library Association’s annual conference. If any of our librarian friends are here, we’re in the zine pavilion! @zinepavilion #alaac25

If you were looking for me today, you didn't find me, because I was inside The Cube printing zines at the Zine Pavilion. Tomorrow I'll try to spend more time outside of The Cube.
