You’ve likely come across a Zine before. They’re everywhere. Little folded paper art-booklets with stories, agendas, drawings, and poems are scattered through cities and tucked into store-corners.

If you made one, yourself, what would it say? What matters enough for you to broadcast it via booklet? Join in on this morning’s workshop filled with folding and unfolding stories. Make your own zine, and find out!

More details to come.

Let's read The Way You Make Me Feel by Maurene Goo together and discuss the relationship between friendship and food. Oh, and let's try some yummy Korean snacks. Teens only (ages 11-19.) Free copies of The Way You Make Me Fee will be given to teens who register for the book club. The books will be available for pickup from the Davenport Public Library at Eastern beginning on Oct. 18. Registrants can email Mr. Joe (jcrawford@davenportlibrary.com) if they would like their book sent to another library location for pickup.

Did you love games and jigsaw puzzles? Is there a closet in your house with a stack of pristine puzzles and games that are collecting dust? Do you wish you could do a new puzzle or game, but don’t really want to spend the money?

We have the program for you! Davenport Public Library is hosting a Game and Puzzle Swap! To participate, drop off a game or puzzle at any of the Davenport Public Library locations from November 1 - November 13th. For each puzzle or game that you donate, you’ll receive a ticket for the November 15th event. One ticket = one game or puzzle you get to pick out at the Game and Puzzle Swap on Saturday, November 15th! If you donate five games or puzzles, that means you get five tickets to pick out five new games or puzzles! It’s that easy!

Please be courteous and only donate games and puzzles with all of the pieces accounted for in the box. We can’t 100% guarantee that the game or puzzle you pick out at the Game and Puzzle Swap won’t be missing any pieces.

*All games and puzzles remaining after the swap will be donated.

**Reminder - to receive a ticket for a free game or puzzle, you must donate a game or puzzle of your choice for the event at any of the Davenport Public Library service desks.
