My local public library uses a repurposed cd shelving unit and it's really great. The zines are in plastic sleeves with cardstock backing so you can easily flip through them like an old school record store. Probably not great for buying new but perfect for getting a good deal on an unwanted shelving unit that needs a new purpose? This is a photo of the wonderful zine librarian Aggie with the collection behind them: [cid:e9423e39-b1ec-4bc1-8bc2-adc181fdb263] ________________________________ From: ZineLibrarians <zinelibrarians-bounces@lists.zinelibraries.info> on behalf of h s <hillary.p.savage@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2026 10:35 AM To: Sophie Ziegler <slziegler@gmail.com> Cc: ZineLibrarians@lists.zinelibraries.info <zinelibrarians@lists.zinelibraries.info> Subject: Re: [Zine Librarians] shelving for zine library You don't often get email from hillary.p.savage@gmail.com.

Most zines in our collection are 5.5 x11 or 3 x 4.24. I'm thinking of something like this: https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/ebern-designs-double-sided-mobile-bookcase-display-stand4-tier-wood-open-book-shelf-magazine-bookshelfretro-w112103998.html Does anyone have any shelving that you like, and would be willing to share pictures of / links to?
