Reflect on what you learned during Summer Stride by making a zine. 

We know you worked hard reading and learning to earn your 2024 Summer Stride tote bag. At this drop-in activity, you’ll have a couple of opportunities to share what you learned through a hand-made zine: 

  • Create an 8.5” x 5.5” page to contribute to the SFPL Summer Stride Anthology Zine, and/or  

  • Make your own 8-page zine out of a single sheet of paper.  

Respond to the prompt, “What I learned doing Summer Stride” in your zine. 

Zine supplies like paper, collage ephemera, markers, stickers, stamps and scissors will be provided, in addition to instructions on how to create an 8-page zine out of a single sheet of paper. You are welcome to bring your favorite zine supplies as well. 

Following the activity, a copy of the Summer Stride Anthology Zine will be mailed to all participants who contributed.

This activity is led by a Magazines and Newspapers Center librarian.
