Central Library of Rochester & Monroe County
If you’re a Rochester, NY area resident: We want your self-published zines for the Library’s Zine Collection! Whether you’re new to the medium, an established zinester, or somewhere in between, submit a copy of your work to the Library.
There’s no deadline to submit: We’re always accepting new zines to the collection at the Library.
We accept zines of different shapes, sizes and formats. Whether hand drawn or handwritten, photocopied and stapled, or professionally printed: we want to see it all!
We’re especially interested in zines that:
- Are regionally based and reflect our community
- Inspire readers to re-examine and learn from underserved voices
- Cover the arts, music, comics, politics, gender issues and advocacy.
Important to note: The Library’s Zine Collection is fully searchable in the library catalog. Not only that: Materials in the Zine Collection can be placed on hold and transferred to other libraries within Monroe County
