Answer the riddle for a chance to win a prize at the end of the Winter Reading Club.
What is a Zine? A Zine (pronounced "zeen") is a handmade, handwritten publication of self expression made to print and share with others. We would love to see what you can create and also hear what is on your minds! It can be about any subject you can think of, including but not limited to.....art, crafts, pets, travel, music, books, food, sports, and activism. The possibilities are endless!
How does this project connect to community service? We would love to start a Zine library in Teen'Scape but need your publications to begin our collection. A Zine library provides others in the community with original sources of material that document current pop culture. How fun is that?!
If you create and submit a Zine to Teen'Scape you will receive 1.5 hours of community service. Can't wait to see your creations! If you have any questions please call us at 631-757-4200.
Every year we look for young local artists to help us design library bookmarks! Create your bookmark with a colorful, hand-drawn picture and a short phrase that promotes books and reading. For example: “Climb on Board and Read!” We are looking for entries to represent the entire year and not the Summer Reading Club theme. Winners are announced monthly throughout next year as we feature one winner in each of our monthly newsletters, on our Children’s webpage, and printed bookmarks in the Children’s Room. All entrants bookmarks will be displayed in the Library in the Children's Room during the month of September. Bookmark Contest forms are available on the Children's Page of the Library web site and in the Children's Room at the Library. Write the theme of your bookmark in the attached activity and return your entry to the Children's Desk to complete the activity.
