Remember before the Internet when the only way to discover the local underground punk rock scene, slow food, yurt-builders, Kierkegaard or Shannon Doherty was to read bits of typed paper from someone pulling an all-nighter at Kinko's? Today, it's called Tumblr. Yet oddly enough, old school zines are experiencing a renaissance. How do people who've never existed in a world without the web create these handmade textures to express their unfettered opinions? In celebration of International Zine Month in July, the Lakewood Library will host several zine workshops throughout the month, the first one coming together July 2. Express your opinion between two staples!
ZINE REVOLUTION WORKSHOP, 6-8 p.m. Lakewood Pierce County Library, 6300 Wildaire Road SW, Lakewood, free, 253.548.3302
