SUMMARY:🖇️ Volunteer Zine Folding Session
DESCRIPTION:We print a *lot* of zines at Iffy Books\, which we distribute for free or by donation. That means we’re constantly folding and stapling\, which takes patience. And we’re currently having a hard time keeping all 150+ titles in stock.\n\nSo we’re running a volunteer zine folding session every other Wednesday afternoon! If you’ve been looking for a way to get involved at the shop\, here’s your chance. (We’re limiting the number of sign-ups because we only have three booklet staplers.)\nRegister for Jan 15:\nRegistration is now closed. We'll offer this event again soon! \n   \nIf you register and you can’t make it\, let us know at iffybooks@iffybooks.net. Thanks!

SUMMARY:🪐 Speculative Futures Reading Group: 'The Stone Sky' by N. K. Jemisin
DESCRIPTION:Join us Wednesday\, January 29th at 7 p.m. to discuss The Stone Sky by N. K. Jemisin\, book three in the Broken Earth trilogy. \nThe Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women. \nEssun has inherited the power of Alabaster Tenring. With it\, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every orogene child can grow up safe. \nFor Nassun\, her mother’s mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world\, and accepted what her mother will not admit: that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed\, only destroyed.

SUMMARY:💡 Solder & Code: Make a 3-Button Keyboard with a Pi Pico
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop you’ll build and program a customizable 3-button USB keyboard using a Pi Pico microcontroller.
