Banned Graphic Novel Zine Workshop

Posted on by

Thank you to everyone who attended our Root Beer Float Social! We hope to see you at our next event, on Monday September 25th from 5-6:30PM in the SLIS Student Lounge. To kick off Banned Books Week, Beatley Library zine librarians will be discussing banned graphic novels and picture books, and how they can be reimagined through zines. We will provide materials for zine-making, as well as snacks! Can’t make it Monday evening? The zine supplies will stay in the lounge throughout banned books week, so drop in at any time to make your own zines featuring banned graphic novels.
