CBPL release – Teens 12-18 are invited to express their voices and create a Zine Friday, June 30 at 2:00pm at the Coos Bay Public Library. Participants will learn the basics of zine-making including format and folding, mixed media and techniques along with content curation and expression. Each participant will complete a zine with the option of displaying in the Young Adult section of the library. The event is part of the Coos Bay Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program. During the summer, the Library offers both a reading challenge and programming for all ages which encourage people to read, learn, connect and find their voice. Beginning June 19 and continuing through August 19, participants of any age can participate in the summer reading bingo challenge, earning badges and entry into prize drawings. Participants who register will get a special prize for entering. This year, people can participate either online or using a paper bingo sheet. Challenge registration is available on the Library’s website or at the Coos Bay Public Library.
