Team AmaZine Workshop and Circulating Kits

Project tags:

community engagement & outreach

digital youth & youth services

We partnered with the Washington Center for the Book and the Washington State Library to promote zine culture, literacy, and community, and the annual Washington State Zine Competition. To address these needs, our team created, marketed, and hosted a zine workshop; assembled zine making kits; and used feedback from attendees, sponsors, and testers to improve our materials. We shared information and submission guidelines for the competition, and encouraged participation by our fellow MLIS students and community members. The zine kit materials we’ve prepared will be circulated to libraries around the state to host their own zine-making workshops.
