Summer

With this postie lock out my excitement about acquiring new zines has become non existent. I don't even feel like working on projects, because i can't send them out when i'm done. What makes me feel even worse is that the posties are about to be legislated back to work. and that fucking sucks.

Some good news! GRCGED is getting new computers which means that soon the archive will be cataloged which means titles can be taken out! wooot woot! Sometime in Sept you will be able to take zines out of the library! geeze its almost been a year.

New Zines and Bookfair hangouts

Bookfair, Bookfair, Bookfair. Hey! Bookfair, Bookfair,Bookfair. Hey!
So the Tornonto Bookfair fun, saw lots of folks talked about lots of things. Learned a bunch of stuff and did some good hangouts. The Toronto Bookfair is the First of the year and is a nice warm up for MTL. So this is what I picked up for the Zine Library:



.Towards A Less Fucked Up World: Sobriety and the Anarchist Struggle
.One Way Ticket #6
. Hey Lady #2 &#3
.Team Dreams

From Walking Distance Distro (super rad neighborhood distro) from MTL:

.Batman Local 56
.wild is the wind
.RIP
.Keep on Truckin': zine about women in non traditional employment

On a personal note I also picked up WORK the crimethinc new book... but don't tell anyone they think I'm a loser. oooo pretty pictures.

I will put these new zines in the New section so you can have a chance to have a look though before i sort them in to the stacks. Also I did the yearly clear out f my personal collection and have donated:

.Wild and Free Food in Toronto
.Solidarity is a Weapon
.Moral Revolution!
.Anti-Semitism and the Beirut Progrom

"Look Mum!" distro will be there with its new 2011 catalog titles. Also "Look Mum!" will be peddling Lavender Lemonade! $1 a glass.... ahhh refreshing!

and for you who are new: Arrow Archive originally opened in The Steel City (Hamilton, Ontario) as The Hamilton Zine Library. HZL opened in fall 2007 at the Sky Dragon Center based on a small personal collection. The HZL made a reluctant but needed move in fall 2010. The Arrow Archive now lives and thrives in Guelph, Ontario. The Arrow has now grown to over 900 titles and is still growing.
