Hey guys! The next Zine Librarians (un)Conference is gonna be in Iowa City IA this summer! If you want to come, you should take this survey and tell us which dates work better for you.

Hey guys! We're the Sherwood Forest Zine Library in Austin, TX. We're opening at the end of this month and are excited to be involved with the local zine community. One of our co-founders was an original co-founder of the Papercut Zine Library in Boston, MA (yay! Papercut!) and Sherwood is looking at setting up a similar circulating system instead of being an archive only. Our email is sherwoodzinelibrary@gmail.com if anyone has any questions or comments. Thanks!

A mobile zine library would be awesome, but of course bummer that your library isn't interested. Your questions seem a little...big to answer easily here. Are you on the zine librarians group on Yahoo? (I'm not at all dissing this awesome WMZ community; I just think in depth discussions on zine librarianship are mostly happening on the list.)

I'd also be happy to email with you about your project zines@barnard.edu.

Looking to start a mobile zine library in my town because they library will not take zines. Their best answer is that they don't know how to process them I guess because they do not come with ready made catalog numbers.

But my library has a separate scan label for their books. I have been asking for years, so now I am just going to start one myself.

The idea is to set up zine reading events and bring my zines.  

Any advise on how to start this thing?

There's a scholarship available (currently $190) for someone from an underrepresented group (e.g., poc, disabled) for the zine librarians unconference in Pittsburgh next month.  Email zines@barnard.edu to apply or to donate.

I missed the question about Intimate Ephemera. I have it, and to my memory it wasn't hard to find. Where do you live? Email me if you want to take this discussion offline. zines@barnard.edu

Hi everyone! Does anyone has a clue of where can I buy the book "Intimate Ephemera - Reading Young Lives in Australian Zine Culture", by Anna Poletti? Thanks!

Hey gang, check us out on Etsy: Last Word Press is up and running!

We also run the Olympia Zine Library at Last Word Books.

We are currently reprinting a lot of older political pamphlets that need to see the light of day, and drawing from the stacks in the Olympia Zine Library to provide. Come pay our shop a visit if you're in the area!

Hate to be a double-poster, but this is just a reminder to take this survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/L578B6J and let us know what you think about zinelibraries.info. Survey closes next Monday, August 29!
