The Cross Street Zine Library is the surviving child of the now disbanded artists collective Cross Street Studios. The expansive library features over 800 zines from around the country, as well as international zines. What are zines? Self-published works by anyone, usually photocopied and hand-assembled, though they are as diverse in physicality as they are in content. Come peruse a selection of the library at First Thursdays, hand-picked by our team.

The Cross Street Zine Library will be presented at First Thurdays in a custom-built tent and themed corner, with a custom sound-scape performed by Stress Cadet.
