Library Open

We have been open for a few weeks & now that GRCGED  has finished their re-deco the Zine Library is back in business. Not only are we back in business but we have been working hard on getting all the whole collection cataloged in the GRCGED. We have about 300 zine to go.  Woot! I has it has taken us a long time to get this far.

GRCGED the loverly place that houses us is doing a little revamp of their space, putting some new paint on the walls and rearranging the things. it's gonna take a while and during this time the zine library will be closed. Surry Kids!

Satellite Station Open!

So, along with there being a new social space (the square) down town Guelph, there is a new satellite location for the arrow archive. The zines at this location are not able to be signed out but you can read them till your hearts delight. The Square is the only open during it's event times, but you can find it's calender on the link above. woot!

Burn Pile zine!

We are planning on making a review zine, called Burn Pile. We will review zines made above the 49th parallel. A fun way to say made in Canada and not sound patriotic. So we will be accepting zines for review and hope to have the first issue out for that second to last weekend of may, just in time for the MTL anarchist bookfair. We are also looking for folks who want to review, get in touch if that is you.

OPEN

After a long break we are open again here at the arrow archive. Still plugging away at cataloging the collection, with over 1000 zines to enter into the system this is a long process. Recived a pretty awesome donation over the holiday season which included a few Microcosm staples such as RAD DAD and 13 YEARS OF GOOD LUCK. WOOO zines!
