All talks (in person and online) will have live closed captioning and BSL interpretation options. BSL and live captioning are available on request for in-person workshops. Automated live captioning is available for online workshops.
If you’d like a British Sign Language interpreter or Live Captioning at an event, please get in touch and we’ll arrange support. Email us at access@glasgowzinelibrary.com to book - we’d love to see you there. Please book BSL and Live Captioning in with us no later than the 8th of May.
You can make access requests via Eventbrite or email us at access@glasgowzinelibrary.com. We are better able to meet requests made at least two weeks in advance.
Masking at GZF
During our Access Plus or masking hours (11-1 Sat & Sun), we will ask everyone who is able to do so to wear a mask at Zine Fest, however we can never guarantee everyone will be able to wear one.
Participants attending workshops can request mask-wearing when booking their ticket. If such a request is made, all participants are asked to wear a mask if they are able to do so.
Free masks will be available at the festival welcome desks.
Please contact us at access@glasgowzinelibrary.com with any feedback or questions.
