Welcome to the Zine Library!

Barnard's zines reflect the Barnard College student population with regard to gender. We acquire zines by women, transfeminine people, trans women and trans men. We are eager to accept zines from any time period or subject. Our zines are personal and political publications on a wide range of topics, broadly addressing gender, feminisms, identities, political activism, and popular culture. Frequent topics include, for example, teenage girlhoods, punk cultures, COVID-19, riot grrrl, LGBTQIA experiences, Black, Indigenous, and POC experiences, travel, comics, physical and mental health, body image, gender nonconformity, discrimination, DIY and crafting, cooking, friendship, and much more. Our zines are at the lower end of the production level scale and typically cost $10 or less, with most of them in the $1-$5 range.

We welcome visitors from everyday zine lovers to international scholars. Come by yourself or bring a friend, or bring your class in for a workshop. Contact [email protected] at least one working day (non-holiday weekdays) in advance to get access.
