Fredericton zine library

The Fredericton Zine Library is located on the first floor of the Charlotte Street Arts Centre. This project was a collaboration between local zine maker Aaron Beaumont and the Charlotte Street Arts Centre.

This library has few rules. Please have a seat and spend some time with a zine. If you borrow anything, please make sure you return it so others can enjoy. Better yet, take a zine, leave a zine.

Contributions are always welcome. We can accept zine contributions at our main office or by mail at Zine Library c/o Charlotte Street Arts Centre, 732 Charlotte Street, Fredericton, NB, E3B 1M5

Created by artist and zine enthusiast Greg Kletsel, this video talks about what a zine is, focusing on the artistic impact zines have, and encourages people and artists to make them.

This is another video that talks about what a zine is, but it dives deeper into the different categories of zines, what you could create your zine about, and the general history of zines.

This video is a super short tutorial on how to fold/form a mini zine booklet out of a single sheet of paper. It is beginner friendly and very simple.

This is another great video that touches on a brief history of zines and then goes into a tutorial of how to make an 8-page zine out of a single sheet of paper (similar to “How to make a zine from a single sheet of paper,” but also giving you tips of what to think about when you’re making your zine).

Another short and to the point video, this one is a tutorial for how to staple a larger zine made out of letter sized paper that is folded in half to create pages. This provides a tutorial for anyone looking to make a more full sized zine.

This is an alternative video to the above “How to staple a half-letter size zine.” It talks in depth about printing zines at home, stapling/binding them, and how to layout your zines in the correct order before binding it. It also provides a page template for the page order of a mini zine in the description.
