The Anchor Archive Zine Library has a collection over over 4000 zines that can be browsed and borrored during our open hours (Tuesday 6-8pm, Sunday 2-5pm). Zines are self-published magazines made outside of mainstream press and media, by all kinds of people about all kinds of things. The Anchor Archive sees zines as an important way to take media into your own hands, find a voice for yourself, and find information and stories that aren't represented in mainstream media and culture.

To borrow zines you must be a member and visit the zine library in person. You can become a member by donating $2 or donating a zine. You get zines for three weeks and can take out 13 at a time.

You can search for zines in our catalogue (about half of our collection has been catalogued) or browse by topic in the library. If you're interested in reading about how the catalogue was created, you can check out our catalogue blog.

We have lots of zine making supplies to use (paper cutter, long-armed and heavy duty staplers, and typewriters), as well as a computer with the internet. We also teach zine-making workshops, host events, and sell zines through our distro.
