New In: Some zines by zine-it-yourself!

You might remember that we took the zine library collection to Darlington a few weeks ago. We'll have a more in-depth blog post about that in a week or so, when we've sorted through the photos and things like that.

Mike from zine-it-yourself was kind enough to second weekend of the exhibition at the shop in Darlington doing a really fun looking observational typewriting thing which was very popular, by all accounts. You can read his blog post about it here.

He also posted us some zines that he'd made last year, and here they are! They're in the library right now, so pop in and have a look. There's lots of illustrations and comics and words and things like that in them.

Salford Zine Library On Tour in Darlington!

We are extremely excited to announce that the library will be heading out on the road this weekend to show off the collection in Darlington, thanks to the super cool Navigator North. We'll be exhibiting in an empty shop on High Row in the town centre this coming weekend and there's going to be a free zine making workshop throughout Saturday. Come along! We'll be working with the locals to put together a zine and then you'll be able to pick up a copy on the Sunday.

The exhibition will stick around for a bit and you'll be able to get in and have a look the weekend after too, and there'll be some kind of activities happening for you to enjoy.

As a result, the zine library at Nexus will be slightly emptier than usual for the next couple of weeks. We're not taking all of the zines with us, but if you're planning a visit you might want to wait until everything's back to normal. Keep an eye on our Twitter to find out when we've got everything back in!
