Nevada County Library will launch its new Zine Collection with a free punk show at the Madelyn Helling Library on September 8th at 6:30 pm. Touring femme punk band from Portland, OR, Noxxema and Nevada County locals, Slutzville will each play a loud, noisy set of punk rock tunes inside the library beginning at 7 pm.
The highlight of this event is the release of the Nevada County Library Zine Collection. Zines, a cornerstone of DIY culture, are self-published, non-commercial publications that embody personal expression and alternative viewpoints. The Nevada County Library Zine Collection will curate a diverse array of zines, offering a platform for voices often underrepresented in mainstream media. Attendees of the event will have the opportunity to borrow up to three zines from the collection, which includes zines on a myriad of topics from bicycling to horticulture to DIY ethos. Visit the Nevada County Library’s Zine Collection webpage for more information about zines and borrowing zines from the collection.
