Quite by chance, I stumbled across the good old #zines (still existing/coming back?). I remember them from the 1980s/90s. Are zines really a thing again?

Can you tell me more about them? Is it a new cultural phenomenon, why do you like or make them? I'm super curious and fascinated!

Here some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine

A very colourful, unfolded, abstract art book on a blue table, gelli-print. It's not a zine but uses the folding technique that I can see with many mini zines made from one sheet of paper.

On Zine Library Day, July 21st, I went to a zine club event organised by Zine Kabine - it was so much fun! I'll reveal the mini-zine I made there soon. Zine Kabine also have a mobile zine library as you can see in the photo. Doesn't it look fabulous? In July I also donated some mini-zines to 2 little free libraries.

Portable zine library constructed like a sort of small closet with little glass doors and shelves that display mini-zines. Text: The Zine Kabine library.

White little free library at the corner of a small square with trees in the background. The glass door is open. There are two shelves with each a few books and on the second shelf a mini-zine called Hoe maak je een zine (in Dutch).

Old long clock repainted yellow and reconstructed as a narrow long bookshelf. This little free zine library holds books and one mini-zine: Do it yourself care #2. Next to the clock/library is a window behind which is a bookbinding workshop called De Ongebonden.
Text: little free library / ruilbib. Text on the clock/library: boekenruilkast.
