Join us as we celebrate the one year anniversary of Zine Lab Monthly! We will have special zinester guest, Ana Camacho Espiritu co-founder and co-organizer of the San Anto Zine Fest, sharing their zine-making knowledge! We will also have a button making station, limited goodies bags, snacks, and more!

We will also be debuting the new Big Read Zine made up of local community submissions. This year's BRZ theme is "a journey through wisdom and imagination."

Zine Lab Monthly focuses on building a space for folks to get creative and learn about zines and the basics of creating their own self-published works!

A zine (pronounced ZEEN) is an independently published magazine or booklet. Using provided supplies, folks can create their own artistic mini books to express themselves and tell their own stories.

[The event will take place in the Latino Collection & Resource Center on the first floor.]

From the comfort of the Library, virtually tour Jerusalem during Hanukkah celebrations! Enjoy this interactive walking tour led by a passionate local guide, offering an authentic and unscripted glimpse into Jerusalem’s diverse culture, landmarks and hidden gems.

While on the tour you’ll be able to see a full-screen video of your professional guide and their surroundings as well as submit questions to them in real-time.

The target audience for this program series is adults 50+ years. The series will take place at Thousand Oaks Library every month with each month featuring a new destination.

Bring your projects and supplies, and mingle with other needlecrafters for an afternoon of sewing, knitting, crocheting, etc.! All skill levels are welcome in this self-directed meetup. This is not an instructional class. The target audience is adults but teens are also welcome to attend with an adult.

This program will be hosted the third Saturday of each month at 12pm, unless otherwise noted in the Thousand Oaks Library calendar. Please call Thousand Oaks Library for more information.

Owen was always the class clown growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio. After high school, he got serious and enlisted in the Navy.

Owen became a military police officer at the Naval Installations on Coronado Island in San Diego. During this time, Owen worked up the nerve to go at a nightclub. After only a year of doing stand-up, he was named "Funniest Serviceman in America."

Then in July of 1997 he auditioned for BET's COMICVIEW. Two appearances on the multi-cultural comedy showcase won him his own one-hour "Grandstand" show. At the end of the season he was selected from the year’s four "Grandstanders" to be the host. Not only is Owen the only white man to have ever hosted COMICVIEW, but he is the only white on-air personality the network has ever had.

Owen is active on twitter at twitter.com/garyowencomedy. Owen has produced two stand-up DVDs: BREAKIN’ OUT THE PARK and URBAN LEGEND.
