Salford Zine Library: smoking bear club

Salford Zine Library is a self-publishing archive formed in January 2010 by Craig John Barr. The library aims to share creative self-published work. The library is housed at Nexus Art Cafe on Dale Street in Manchester. The archive is open to all to contribute to. There is no curatorship and we don’t wish to be arbiters of taste. The library is completely inclusive and your contribution is important.

The library tours the UK visiting schools, universities, public art galleries and book fairs. Salford Zine Library is non profit and unable to purchase any work. The archive works on a donation only basis and is now run by Steve Carlton and Elizabeth Murray Jones. If you wish to exhibit or show the library at your gallery, venue or event please get in touch.
