Enjoying an Afternoon of Zine-Making

Saturday, June 20, 2026
2:30 – 4:30pm CT
Ramsey County Library Roseville

MORE DETAILS AND REGISTRATION

Spots are limited: Maximum of 11 attendees, 
so be sure to reserve your spot early! 

An in-person event focused on experiencing the culture and creativity of zines! For those who are unfamiliar, zines (pronounced “zeens”) are self-published prints, often handmade on paper and produced in limited quantities using non-commercial printing.

The experience will emphasize that anyone can make a zine, and that no special knowledge is needed to start enjoying, creating, and sharing stories with zines.

No prior knowledge or preparation is required! Just bring yourself and your creativity. Optionally, participants are invited to bring a small amount of cash (a few dollars) to make copies of their zine on the library copy machine.
