From Richmond Zine Fest’s FaceBook page:
Richmond Zine Fest 2015!
Saturday October 10th at
The Main Branch of the Richmond Public Library
101 E. Franklin St.
From their website:
The Richmond Zine Fest is an annual event at which local and national (and perhaps even international if we’re so lucky) zine-makers can gather to sell and trade their zines and network with other people in the zine community. The zine fest is not just for zine creators and distros. It’s an open event for all ages with tablers selling zines as well as other DIY items, informative and fun workshops throughout the afternoon, and good times, food and conversation in general. This event happens every Fall–typically during the month of October.
Intro To Oral History at Main Library This Week

Learn how to collect stories/ oral histories from your family, friends and interesting people you know in your church, neighborhood and community. We are losing incredible stories daily!
