Oh, and for any new zine libraries starting up, we have a few doubles that we are removing from the library, so let us know and we can post these to you.

For the zine librarians in London/UK:
56a infoshop in London is relaunching its zine library at the end of the month. There is a weekend of events to celebrate this: a gig on Saturday 25th July @ Grosvenor, 17 Sidney Road, Stockwell feat. zine distros & queer bands. Sunday 26th July @ 56a info shop, Crampton Street, Elephant & Castle, there will be discussions & workshops including one on self-published comix, and networking between zinesters & zine librarians. This is from 12pm on, and will follow a breakfast at 56a, and of course, browsing of the zine library!!!

If you're on the ZL list you may have seen this, but I thought it was worth reposting:

Many of you know this already, but for those of you who don't, there will be a Zine Librarians (Un)Conference at ZAPP (Seattle's Zine Archive and Publishing Project) in mid-March! Here's the link to the press release...

This is good information; thank you!

I think it's perfectly acceptable to solicit zines to start a new library. One thing that would help, though is if you specify the collection's focus, if there is one. (e.g. zines for teens, DIY zines, political zines, etc.)

A smart move, if the library has any money at all (and I feel strongly that public and academic libraries should pay for their zines), would be to offer to cover postage or send a pre-paid Priority Mail envelope.

Good luck!

Hey, my local librarian wants to start a zine collection, and I want to help her but don't know how. Is it zine-socially acceptable to start a thread saying 'wanna help stock the library by donating a zine'?

i founded a zine library in Hamilton Ontario, Canada i am currently looking for a new home for it locally, can any one help me brain storm where i could ask for space?
the previous space was a co-operative cafe, that has turned out to be not so co-operative and i have been getting the feeling that the zine library has been pushed aside. i know that a zine library in a community is very important and shouldn't be pushed to the wayside. so if any one has any ideas on what kind of business i could approach or maybe letting me know where the library you work with is housed, it would be very helpful!

yo! i have a zine library which was housed at a social centre and since that got evicted (and i moved back to the uk) now it's sitting on a shelf in my house again. here's the inventory:

I just got my MLIS. It was an amazing experience wrought with danger and papercuts. PAPER CUTS in this, the digital age, really? I would not kid you without citing a source.
