Sheridan Zine Library

attended Sheridan's first annual gettazine small press fair, i got a butt load of donations haven't had a chance to catalog them or even read them yet, but it looks like there are a lot of cool art zines!

also got a chance to visit the sheridan zine library... she is young but is turning many on the world of zines.

and i got to chat with a few librarians from the Toronto zine library, i'll be visiting them soon!
