The IPRC, short for Independent Publishing Resource Center, is located upstairs from Reading Frenzy in the North Pacific Bldg. The IPRC facilitates creative expression and identity by providing individual access to the resources and tools for the creation of independently published media and art. They are a non profit resource center which includes a zine lending library (with library cards available to all), zine workspace and supplies, and a computer lab. Other things available are a copier, book binding supplies, letterpresses, a mimeograph machine, art gallery, and more. Workshops on various aspects of independent publishing and DIY art are available. The IPRC is open to members (sliding scale yearly membership starting at $40) and to non-members (for a small hourly fee). Make sure to check out Reading Frenzy (see separate listing) when you’re here, because no zine-related visit to Portland is complete without visiting Reading Frenzy and the IPRC!!!
