There is a few options to get to Manly Library.

  • A ferry from Circular Quay
  • A bus from the surround of Sydney

Places are limited so please let us know if you’re interested as soon as you can.

Feel free to forward this email to anyone who might also like to attend!

What is the Zine Fair?

The library will host artist stalls where zines can be displayed, given away or sold.

Applying for and reserving a table is completely free, and artists retain 100% of any sales they make. The Zine Fair will also include live music, a craft corner for all ages and some workshops running throughout the event.

See below photos from the 2024 Zine Fair at Manly Library.

Call for Submissions: Headstone Zine

Deadline: June 1st

A headstone is a marker for those who have passed: it can be a representation of one’s identity or legacy, a last word, a sense of closure, a transformation, or a reminder from the past carried into the future. Who or what do you want to memorialize?

We welcome work about any of these themes (literally or figuratively):

  • Memorials, remembrances, obituaries, eulogies, epitaphs, vigils, wakes
  • Cemeteries, columbaria, catacombs, and other visual culture
  • Grief, loss, bereavement, anticipatory grief, not grieving
  • Mythology, cultural practices, the afterlife, transitory states
  • Thanatology
  • An ending to a story
  • Other related themes and connections

Headstone is open to submissions and accepts both written work and visual art.

Submissions are open here for vol. 1 until June 1, 2025. (link: Google Forms)

Vol. 1 will be printed in Black, Risofederal Blue, and Red.
