by Maddie, Main Library Beginning March 18th, we’re hosting Teen Zine Team, a weekly, virtual hangout where you can meet other teens and spark your own creativity and self-expression! Local zine artists, along with our Teen Services Librarians, will introduce you to this underground art form and guide you on your zine-making journey. Teens with any level of artistic experience are welcome in this inclusive, casual group. Sign up here to receive your own zine-making kit, with scissors, glue, collage paper, stickers, gel pens, and instructions. Whether you’re a prolific zinester or you’ve never heard of the word “zine” before, you’ll have fun joining our casual zine-making sessions! “What’s a zine?!” you might ask… A zine (pronounced “zeen”) is a DIY self-published magazine. It can be any size, length, and shape. Most importantly, it can be about anything! Zines can cover topics from personal stories to baking recipes. Zines can be informational, collaborative, personal, or anonymous. Obsessed with BTS? Make a zine about it! Missing your beloved family pet? Share those feelings in a zine! Have a notebook full of emo poetry? Add it to a zine and leave copies around town for strangers to find! There are no rules to making zines. Just go with your gut and express yourself! For inspiration, here are some examples of zines made my local teens: Teen Zine Team meets every Thursday, from 4–5pm, over Zoom (beginning March 18).
