TEEN NEWSLETTER

July 2024

TEEN ZINES

Do you enjoy drawing and writing super short stories? What about sharing information about your favorite topic or passion? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, you may be interested in creating a zine for the Library!

What’s a zine? Basically, it is a tiny book where you can share information with others about your hobbies, interests and studies!

In Teen, we have a display dedicated to

sharing the work of teen zine creators, covering topics such as living with siblings, how to save the planet, fungi and being kind to yourself!

You can make your very own zine in the Library with supplies from our Supplies Cart and MakerTable, or you can make it at home and drop it off in our submission bin at the bottom of the display. For more information about making your own zine for the display, stop by the Teen Desk.

This is a chance to have your voice heard at the Library!
