Hello, everyone! A colleague and friend of mine is working on a blog post for ALA about how libraries are interacting with the tabletop game zine community, and I told him I could reach out to some zine librarians on his behalf. Here are some of the initial topics/questions he's interested in: - Does your library have tabletop/gaming zines in your collection? - Do you host tabletop/gaming zine programs? - Do you have any connections with local tabletop/gaming zine creators/events/organizations? - Have you ever done a game jam with zines? His name is Jason Richards, and his email is jrichards@coj.net. Please reach out to him if this is in your wheelhouse! Al Cassada (they/them), Customer Experience Librarian Main Library – Fiction Jacksonville Public Library 303 Laura St. N 32202 Please note that under Florida's very broad public records law, e-mail communications to and from city officials are subject to public disclosure. _______________________________________________ ZineLibrarians mailing list ZineLibrarians@lists.zinelibraries.info http://lists.zinelibraries.info/listinfo.cgi/zinelibrarians-zinelibraries.info

I'm glad that's happening! I've been so curious about gaming zines since I joined Bluesky and saw them all.
