Toronto Zine Library

In the mid-90’s, I published my own ‘zine and yes, this was before the Internet and before blogs.
After mentions in Broken Pencil and Factsheet Five, I received mail and issue requests from all over North America and oddly from a variety of US prisons. Good times.
I recently donated my entire ‘zine collection to the Library after my mom threatened to recycle the whole box. I just couldn’t let her throw away a form of communication that is rare and diminishing now.
Located on the 2^nd floor of the Tranzac Club, the Library is a small room, jammed pack with a variety of self-​published ‘zines. I was greeted by a friendly staff member who eagerly welcomed my collection. I’m just happy that it didn’t end up at the recycling plant.
So if anyone is looking for old issues of Infiltration, Interference, Freak, Fuzzy Heads are Better, Superkeen, One Way Glass, Conformist, Aardvark, Ductape, You Ride A Horse, and so many more, I left them all at the ‘Zine Library.
