What are zines? Zines are independently published works that deal with different topics (politics, poetry, life reflections, cooking - anything goes). The library has a collection of zines at the Central Library in the magazine collection. What’s great about our collection is that you can sign out the zines on a three week loan, and they are in the catalogue, so you can browse them from home on your computer.
