Much Ado About Books is Jacksonville’s premier book festival including a writer’s workshop, children’s chapter, author panel discussions, book sales and signings.

This year, in association with The Zine Collection, Much Ado About Books will feature two zine related panels. Before we go any further, zines are simply self-published pamphlets of all sizes and shapes, often covering subjects overlooked in larger scale publications.

Note: I was not able to find these panel events listed on the website. I expect them to be added soon.

Panel Discussion on Zines

What are zines and why are they important? Why are they thriving in an increasingly digitized popular culture?

• Joe LaChute – Seven Inches to Freedom
• Max Michaels – Movement Magazine

Zine Readings from Various Authors

Featuring the wide range of content that goes into zines.
Saturday, February 20th 12:00-12:45

• Patrick Hughes (author of the Diary of Indignities book, contributor to several music zines, and blogger)

The Zine Collection at the Main Library is one of the first in the Southeast and one of the largest public zine collections in the country.

The mission of the Jacksonville Public Library Zine Collection is to circulate and preserve alternative media resources that inspire readers to re-examine and learn from alternative and under-served voices that represent our community.
