Hello Zine Librarians! Long time lurker, first time writer: I wanted to share an opportunity with you all. I am a conference planner with the Ontario Library Association. Our upcoming Super Conference in 2026, held in Toronto, is now accepting proposals and this year's theme is We Persist. I thought this group might be interested in submitting a proposal or participating as an exhibitor in our Expo hall. Here's some more info for you: Info on the theme: https://olasuperconference.ca/introducing-your-2026-super-conference-theme-we-persist/ The call for proposals: https://olasuperconference.ca/the-olasc26-call-for-proposals-is-now-open/ Info for exhibitors: https://olasuperconference.ca/expo/prospectus/ Although this is a Canadian conference we have accepted proposals from across the country and a few from the US. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, if I don't know the answer I will find out who to put you in touch with. Thanks for reading! -Jessica [OSC_100Yr_RGB-01] Jessica Leslie, MLIS (she/her) Librarian Research and Academics Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences 700 Gordon Street, Whitby, Ontario L1N 5S9 t 905.430.4015 lesliej@ontarioshores.ca<mailto:lesliej@ontarioshores.ca> _______________________________________________ ZineLibrarians mailing list ZineLibrarians@lists.zinelibraries.info http://lists.zinelibraries.info/listinfo.cgi/zinelibrarians-zinelibraries.info

Thanks for de-lurking, Jessica! I love a cfp with the phrase "inherent grittiness"! That works well for zines/zine librarianship and is also a lovely follow up to ALA being held in Gritty city!
