Community Room (Brooks)

Create your own zine at the library!

Join us for an afternoon of creativity! Kids will learn about what a zine is and have time to begin their own during this one-hour long program. All materials will be provided!

This program is intended for children aged 6-11 years.

If your child is neurodivergent and attending in-person programming is difficult or causes discomfort, please reach out to Erin at erinh@deschuteslibrary.org to request a take-home kit with instructions and materials. We will have a limited number of kits for neurodivergent folks.

Questions? Reach out to Community Librarian Erin Heyl at erinh@deschuteslibrary.org
