You may have heard that the Tranzac, which is the club that owns the building that the Toronto Zine Library is housed in, is in dire financial straits.
They need to raise a bunch of money by the end of the year in order to secure the future of the club. While the situation is dire, it is also manageable. The targets set are reasonable, and if enough people give money and attend upcoming fundraising events, the money will be raised, and the Tranzac will survive.
The Toronto Zine Library would not exist without the support of the Tranzac. Our operations are entirely outside of the "market," and if we were forced to find a new space, we would never be able to afford to pay rent on it. Please support the Toronto Zine Library by supporting the Tranzac. Become a Tranzac member for just 25 dollars, or donate however much money you would by clicking here:
(the Tranzac is working on an online membership form)

And keep a lookout for a Tranzac fundraiser event to be hosted by the Toronto Zine Library.
