I love zines! and librarys! so put them together, and you get something very cool. Craig Atkinson brings his Cafe Royal zine library to Preston, featuring hundreds of zines for your perusal.
Since I'm hoping to make some really nice quality art zines with Twigs and Apples, I find myself paying lots of attention to the paper and print qualities/formats (and can regularly be found salivating over a nice full bleed or unusual paper type) - so an exhibition where you can basically fondle the artworks was super indeed.
In my typically late fashion I'm only writing about this a day before it ends - it's on at the PR1 Gallery (UCLan) til 19th November and well worth a look.

Indexhibit
Whilst thinking about library/exhibit/archive-y things, I've always liked 'indexhibit' web layouts but only just properly looked into it. They are super simple, clean and neat, and translate the 'white wall' idea of the gallery really well into a web format.
Just found their list of participants which will probably keep me occupied for many hours: http://www.indexhibit.org/participants/
