The Zine Librarians unConference, a.k.a. ZLuC, is an inspirational, informative, and fun gathering of people who care deeply about zines, their preservation, and their ability to change lives for the better. The unconference is held at least once a year and the location varies. The best place for information about upcoming events is the Zine Librarians email list.

Consider hosting the next ZLuC in your city! Find more information about what hosting ZLuC entails at the ZLuC Organizers Toolkit. Calls for proposals to host ZLuC are announced November of each year.
