Zine Club Chicago is thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new South Side Zine Library! This free community resource, stocked with zines of all kinds, will be permanently housed in the Community Room at the Richard J. Daley branch of the Chicago Public Library in Bridgeport.
To celebrate, Zine Club Chicago is pairing up with the Blue Ribbon Glee Club to host a launch party featuring the intermittent reading and performance series Three Songs, plus an open mic and zinemaking!
All are invited to the Zine Club Chicago South Side Zine Library Launch Party featuring Three Songs with the Blue Ribbon Glee Club on Sunday, June 9 at the Richard J. Daley branch of the Chicago Public Library, 3400 S. Halsted St. in Bridgeport. Zinemaking begins at 1 p.m.; the Three Songs readings and performance will start at 2 p.m. Free!
For the Three Songs performance, a trio of featured readers will each share a story about one of the songs in the BRGC punk a capella repertoire, and then the group will sing it. The readers are:
- Nikki Roberts (Locals Only zine)
- Liz Olney (RadicleArts + BRGC member)
- Cynthia E. Hanifin (Pulaski at Night zine + South Side Zine Library founder)
- YOU! We’ll be hosting an open mic for anyone in the community who wants to tell their own music-related story.
