About Princeton Zine Fest
Princeton Zine Fest (PtonZF) is back for a third year with an afternoon showcasing and celebrating zines and those who create them.
Pronounced “zeen,” zine is short for magazine or fanzine. Small, self-published, do-it-yourself publications, zines are created in a wide variety of genres and are typically reproduced on a copy machine. Those who create them are called zinesters.
Learn more about creating zines by visiting “The How to Make a Zine” resource guide published by the Library of Congress.
June 20, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Events:
- Zine Marketplace: Features 40 booths in the Community Room.
- Create Your Own Zine: Dedicated space for creating your own zine with some supplies provided by the library, or bring your own.
- Other events to be announced.
