What is a zine?
A zine (pronounced “zeen”) is a DIY, low-budget, self-made, small publication, that is not created solely for commercial profit. Zines can amplify underrepresented voices, challenge the cultural mainstream, and take many forms, from personal reflections to comics to social commentary.
Zine Collection Launch
The library will also be unveiling our brand new Zine Collection. Zines will be available to read for in-library use.
Come check it out!
This event is free and open to the public. Don’t forget to bring cash and change so you can buy some zines!
