About the Collection
ZAPP was a volunteer-run organization dedicated to preserving and promoting self-publishing in Seattle and beyond. Originally part of Richard Hugo House, ZAPP collected and maintained a library of over 30,000 zines, minicomics and other self-published and small press titles. Richard Hugo House donated this collection to the Library in August 2017.
The Library believes that the power of knowledge improves people's lives. We promote literacy and a love of reading as we bring people, information and ideas together to enrich lives and build community.
