WELCOME TO THE SHERWOOD FOREST ZINE LIBRARY!
Started in October of 2012, the Sherwood Forest Zine Library is a lending library of over 3000 zines in central Austin. We are open every other Saturday from 2-6PM unless otherwise noted. Our collection spans decades, countries, and topics and new zines are catalogued every week! Membership is free.
​
In addition to the physical library, we run a Virtual Zine Library with hundreds of zines ready to download for free!
NEXT SHIFT: Sept. 27th, 2025 - 2-6P!
HOURS: We try to be open every other Saturday, but we are a volunteer project, so please see our Hours & Events page for the most up to date shift schedule!

THE BIG SUMMER VIRTUAL
ZINE LIBRARY UPDATE IS HERE!
Our Virtual Zine Library has hundreds of free downloadable zines and links to online zines. Our goal is to host and provide access to information, stories, and voices that are often buried in the mainstream media.
Our collection ranges from art, poetry, and fiction to political theory, social issues, and historical discussion, and everything in between!
​
We update the Virtual Library a few times a year.
Please let us know if you find any errors/missing or broken links/pdfs.
Checked out zines you need to return?
Since we are a circulating library, it's important that zines are returned in a timely fashion to keep this important literature accessible to all!
​
Can't make a shift but have zines to return?
We have a dropbox outside our front door available for zine drop offs and donations at any time!
Having an issue returning your zines?
Please email us so we can work it out!
We are a Critics' Pick in 2024's Austin Chronicle Best of Austin Awards!
