We love making zines anywhere, but doing so in public libraries is especially meaningful.
Zines are accessible tools for literacy, storytelling, and community connection. By hosting Zine Jams in libraries, we help shift them from places where information is consumed to places where it’s created—where patrons become authors, not just readers.
Zine Jams are free, drop-in workshops for ages 5+, led by Booklyn, Inc. educators. With visual, tactile, and writing prompts, anyone can make a zine. Free copies of our Abridged Education Manual are available at every event.

Started in June 2021 during the pandemic, Zine Jams highlight the importance of public space and the power of making things together. Libraries are essential community hubs, and Zine Jams help reimagine them as spaces of creativity, authorship, and resistance to misinformation.
