  • Registration is required for this event.
  • Registration will open on December 29, 2025 @ 9:00am.
  • This event is for registrants age 12 to 18.

Teens are invited to join us for an exciting hands-on workshop where they'll learn to design, print, and cut their very own 8-page zine! (Zines are small, self-published booklets that can showcase anything from artwork, poetry, stories, and even personal opinions.)

Participants will use Canva.com to design their zines; print using the library's resources; and precisely cut the zine's pages using the library's Cricut cutting machine to give the zine a professional finish.

By the end of the session, participants will have their very own custom zine to share with friends or display in the library! Plus, they'll have gained valuable skills in digital design, printing, and cutting.

What to Bring:
Participants should bring along creativity and ideas! If available, feel free to bring along specific themes and artwork to be incorporated into the zine.

During the registration window for this program, registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6168 or by visiting the Help Desk at the Library and registering in person. Registration is limited to 12 teens.
