<div>The closing of our home, the Democracy Center, has left Papercut without many of the resources we've used to keep our collection and community going. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're currently operating entirely remotely as we've lost our space at the DC. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Papercut Zine Library is a volunteer-run library with a collection of 16,000+ zines &amp; independent media.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Throughout our 19-year-long history, we've worked hard to be a supportive, radical, care-filled leader in the Boston DIY scene, working on a variety of community outreach projects from workshops on harm reduction to zine-making at public and academic libraries! We host skill-shares and community events and are constantly growing our collection with zine submissions from the greater Boston community and beyond.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're a free library because we believe in the accessible, barrier-less ethos of zine-making and sharing. Because we don't charge anything to engage in our programming, <strong>we're looking to our community to help us stay afloat in this moment of instability.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As stewards of such a large collection that runs purely on the labor of love of volunteers with no financial assistance, it has been a challenge, but an honor, to keep our doors open for the community. <strong>Your contribution would be much overdue assistance for a group of zine lovers who are always trying to keep programming free for the community.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Zines can be many things, including but not limited to: a ticket out of isolation, a way to process, a simultaneous reflection of both one’s uniqueness and universality, a call to action (i.e., Girls’ Skate Day), aesthetic/eye candy, or informative literature. We believe so much in the importance of a space like ours in Boston, and hope you'll help us by donating to keep our community active for many years to come.

<div>Keeping it rad since 2005.
