      ANCHOR ARCHIVE ZINE LIBRARY  
  zinelibraryshelves  

The Library is open two days a week
(Tuesday 6-9pm, Sunday 2-5pm).
We are located at 5684 Roberts Street in the North End of Halifax. Look here for a map.

Anyone can browse but in order to borrow zines you have to be a member. 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. There are no overdue fees, but we make reminder phone calls and you are held responsible if you don't return them for 6 months.

 
         
     

Most zines are organized by topic, and personal zines are alphebatized by title. We're working on a cataloging system, which is partially completed here: robertsstreet.org.
To read Amanada and Zac's blog about that process, see http://blog.anchorarchive.ath.cx/

If you're interested in donating zines, either ones you make or ones from a distro or zine library, please get in touch. We will take two copies of self-published, non-commercial zines but no hate literature! We also sell zines (mostly local ones), if you are interested in us distro-ing yours, send or drop off a donation copy for consideration and we'll let you know.

We have lots of zine making supplies - come and use our paper cutters, long-armed heavy-duty stapler, typewriters, we even have lots of pens and pencils and scissors and gluesticks. We have a computer with internet.
