A little library for Swiss zines
Small, self-made, printed with care. We collect zines from Swiss zinemakers and from friends everywhere else, and keep them on a shelf where anyone can read them.
What is a zine library?
A zine is a small, self-published magazine. It might be photocopied, stapled, riso-printed or sewn by hand. It's made because someone had something to say, not because it had to sell.
A zine library collects these little publications and makes them easy to find and read — like a public library, but for things you'd never find in a bookshop.
Swiss at heart, open to everyone
Our focus is on zines made in Switzerland — from Basel to Lugano and Geneva to St. Gallen, in any language.
But a good zine is a good zine, so we happily shelve work from anywhere in the world. If you've printed something small and personal, there's a spot for it here.
