What are zines?: Zines at the Marist Library

Find zines at the library

The Zine Library is available anytime the library is open. It is located on the shelves directly behind the area with the beanbag chairs. To browse all the zines in the library, you can browse in-person, or search in FoxHunt either by subject (zines), title, or creator. Unlike other materials in the library, zines are not organized by call number, but sorted into categories. This means you'll have to do a little more browsing and exploring to find what you want, and maybe while you look you'll find other zines to read too!

Zine Events

All events are held near the zine library! You don't need to sign up for the events in order to attend. You don't need to know anything about zines to come to an event! All supplies will be provided!

Make your own zines

The zine library has zine making supplies to help you make your own zine(s)! These include computers & a scanner, collage materials, paper, pens & pencils, & a stapler. 

Feel free to spread out at the long tables by the stacks or sit on the floor by the beanbag chairs to make your zine(s)!

Check out the Making Zines tab for some inspiration!

Donate a zine

We'd love to add your zine to our collection! If you'd like to donate your zine, email publicservices.library@marist.edu.

The donation process:

  • When donating your own zine(s), you'll sign a consent form. This allows us to own your physical zine and use it in our collection, but you keep full rights to the content! 
  • We will not duplicate or digitize your zine. 
  • Your zine can be listed in our catalog under your name or a pseudonym or it can be listed as anonymous. 
  • You decide whether your zine can be borrowed from the library or only read inside. 
  • You may ask us to remove your zine from the collection at anytime. 
  • Your zine might be damaged or lost due to use.
