My visit to the Salt Lake City Public Library (Library Journal's Library of the Year, 2006) was a great way to end my stay in Salt Lake City. I not only got to take in the amazing architecture of the library but was also able to spend a couple hours with their incredible zine collection.
The SLCPL zine collection contains hundreds of zines from local zine publishers as well as those from other areas. New zines are prominently displayed face-out while the rest of the zines are arranged by subject on shelves on the second floor of the library. Library goers are free to read zines at the library or check them out. Yes, this is a circulating zine collection! Although zine collections are becoming more popular in libraries, it's not everyday that you can actually check out a zine to take home and enjoy.
Below is a picture of SLC Public Library as well as their zine collection.
Enjoy, and thanks for reading!
