From the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU 🤲🧁

It’s been an incredible 10 years of organizing around zines & self-publishing in Kansas City. We are so grateful & humbled to see just how much our little DIY fest has grown over time.
As we enter “off-season” mode, we are cooking on some new ideas keep supporting our local zine community long-term. We are so excited to get to work and put them into motion.

Thanks for being here. DIY or die, get outside, and MAKE A ZINE!!! 🫵 🦝

Can’t wait to have the KC Public Library at Zine Con this year!

We'll be at KC Zine Con #10 on Saturday (10/11)! We'll be sharing our FREE zines, including our kids' zine (full of books and jokes and fun stuff!), the Vault zine (film content) and our second annual Phantoms of the Library zine (full of spooky stories). If you can't make it, you can always pick up zines at the Central Library. While you're at the Central Library, check out our Zine Library on the vault level, where we have a zine-making station, free zines, and zines you can check out. You can also search for "zine" in our catalog: kclibrary.org/catalog to see what we have.
