Call for #ZinePavilion 2026 volunteers at #ALAAC26!
Volunteer with the Zine Pavilion at ALA Annual 2026 and receive a free pass to the conference!
The Zine Pavilion is a space on the exhibit floor at the American Library Association’s annual conference to display zines, meet zine librarians, and talk about how zines and libraries are a great pair. ALA is the largest gathering of librarians in the world, with over 12,000 attendees, including librarians, archivists, writers, publishers, and guest speakers.
This year’s Zine Pavilion will be held in Chicago at the Chicago Convention Center from Friday June 26 through Monday June 29. ALA is celebrating 150 years of existence this summer as well!
We’re looking for volunteers who love zines to help the Zine Pavilion run smoothly.
This includes:
-talking to people about zines
-promoting the zine raffle
-folding and stapling zines.
In exchange, we’re offering a free exhibitor badge to the conference to those who volunteer for a 3-hour shift. This badge gives you access to the exhibit hall and all regular ALA sessions. (Please note that this badge does *not* include access to “ticketed events” such as pre-conferences or banquets).
We’re glad to have you as part of the Zine Pavilion which has been happening since 2012!
