PLACES; Toronto Zine Library

From Answers.com
zine (zēn)
An inexpensively produced, self-published, underground publication: I often contributed cartoons and essays to other people's 'zines, so why didn't I just buckle down and start my own? (Pagan Kennedy).

Come on kids! Drag your cyber polluted eyes off from the screen and hit the pavement in the direction of the coolest word sanctuary in town. Don't let the its one roomed white walled drabness fool ya, the Toronto Zine Library is literally packed to the brims with impossible to find self-published rags from the 70's on. You'll find old Punk Rock newsletters printed on dirty third hand newspaper, personal zines written by mopy 16 year old girls amd glossier publications from the mid-90's that are all but forgotten today (Ben is Dead, Bitch, Fact Sheet). There's all manners of goodies nicely split up into different sections for even the most casual browser (Perzines, Fanzines, Sexual Politics, Angry Hermaprhodites Who Love Pands.) The only reason for you not to check it out is you where born without a brain. Ande even then, make your buddies carry you there.

LIBRARY HOURS ON SUNDAYS FROM 1-3At the Tranzac - 292 Brunswick Ave., next to Future's Bakery - UPSTAIRS IN THE REHEARSAL HALL. During these hours zine librarians will be on hand to answer any questions you may have and help you find what you're looking for. The zines are otherwise available during the Tranzac's open hours (weekdays after 5, weekends after 1) as long as the REHEARSAL HALL (upstairs, remember!) isn't in use.
