Do you keep zines or pass them on after reading? I kind of want to keep the zines to have a historical document of life in the real world today. However, I am a stasher, storer, hoarder, and keeper by nature, and my 4 book cases are full. I'm going to list my zines read on bookmooch.com for now. If someone wants one, they can mooch it for free.

I like zines!

I keep some and I pass others along. I tend to hoard books, movies, and other media, but I also like to share things. I guess I'm more likely to share the ones I get for free.

Yeah, I'm keeping the Allergies: How to Deal Zine. And I'll probably put White Elephants in my Mom's Christmas stocking. I think she'd get a kick out of that.

I always try to keep them

[Nadia Brady]

I keep them, then lend them, which often leads to not keeping them, so it's a happy medium.

I tend to keep them. I often intend to pass them on, then can't bring myself to!

I keep most of my zines with the view to maiing them accessible to others sometime in the future. I dont re-read many though

I used to keep all of them. But a lot of times I'll read a zine and think, "This would be perfect for," whoever and pass it along to them. But some zinesters I keep everything of theirs because I think they should be archived. Someone mentioned White Elephants--I keep everything by Katie H.

oh, i definitely keep them.. i like to re-read them.. everyone does them so different, each with a piece of themselves inside.. they are all unique..

I like the idea of donating to a zine library. Is there a handy list of zine libraries online?

I keep the ones that especially resonate with me and pass on ones that might resonate better with other people. Pass-ons usually go to Octapod or creative friends in need of some inspiration. Nothing's wasted or binned!
