About Glasgow Zine Library:
Glasgow Zine Library is a self-publishing library and community arts space in the south side of Glasgow. Our collection holds 3,500+ zines, which are self-published magazines usually produced by marginalised groups for creative expression, and to share experience and resources, with topics ranging from fan culture to social justice.
We aim to celebrate zine culture; uplift the experiences, practices and imaginations of marginalised creatives; resource DIY creativity; build community connection; and democratise community arts access. We do this through our year-round public arts and heritage programmes, free-to-use library, archive and arts resources, opportunities, annual festival, and volunteer programme. Our activities are pay-what-you-can and access provision includes a wheelchair accessible venue, quiet space, stim toys, masks, BSL, and captioning.
