Are Zines History: an alt-tour of the Toronto Refrence Library Zine Collection

Broken Pencil and the Toronto Reference Library are holding an event next Tuesday, September 21, where BP staff and friends will take attendees on a tour of the zine library then sit down for a panel discussion about the place for zines today.

To begin, Megan Speers, BP designer Ian Sullivan Cant and I will lead participants through sections of the library, examining specific types of zines such a perzines, political zines and litzines. After the mini tour, Speers and Sullivan Cant will sit down with Chris Landry, previous zine distributor and author of Kiss Off, to talk about the place for zines today with me moderating. Cookies and juice will also be served.

Please come and join the conversation. Tuesday, September 21 at 7pm at the Toronto Reference Library's Elizabeth Beeton Auditorium.
