Last week we were back at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library for the 2025 Zine Workshop with Memphis Public Libraries! 🖍📚
Teens explored storytelling through art and writing, each creating their own zine. To keep the creativity flowing, we donated guides and materials for each participant, so they can keep making, reading, and expressing themselves beyond the workshop. 🌟
What is a zine you may be asking? A small, self-published booklet or magazine, often created by individuals or small groups.

“By trusting teens, allowing them to take equipment out of the library, and giving them agency in choosing film subjects, library staff acknowledge the value of teen culture and identity.” CLA Blog - @indiememphis Youth Film Festival & @MEM_Library Unite connectedlearning.news/cla07…
