Don't miss this weekend's 9th annual San Francisco Zine Fest, which takes place at the County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park. You'll want to check out a wide range of  local zines, comix, artwork, workshops and panels. Meet the people behind the zines you love, learn about zine history, try your hand at silkscreening, or find out about DIY and small press journalism. It's all at the San Francisco Zine Fest.

While you're at it, why not make the Little Maga/Zine Collection your travel destination when visiting the city? Housed in San Francisco Public Library's Book Arts & Special Collections Center, this non-circulating research collection was founded by SFPL librarians, and opened to the public in the 1960s. The history of the alternative and underground press of the San Francisco Bay Area is documented here, with more than 4,000 items; the collection also includes ephemera and a reference collection. The Little Maga/Zine Collection is considered one of the most important collections of its kind in a public library. The collection is open to the public Tuesday through Thursday: 10-6; Friday: 12 Noon-6: Saturday: 10–6; Sunday: 12 Noon– 5. Closed Monday. We're always happy to accept donations of San Francisco zines.

                            

I work with the most amazing collections and library staff. If you're interested in the history of printing, calligraphy & lettering, wit & humor on every subject, little magazines and zines, then we're the library for you. San Francisco Public Library is dedicated to free and equal access to information, knowledge, independent learning and the joys of reading for our diverse community.
