Have you ever made a Zine? Here's a fun Zine word search.

Do you know where to buy one of these? I've looked up Zine Vending Machines and only found very large machines. Thanks.
This is cool‼️
Don’t miss the Lil’ Zine Vending Machine in the ALA Connect Lounge! Stop by before 5:00 pm today to grab a zine, support libraries, and have a little fun. Proceeds go to the ALA Public Supporter Program.
If you stop by before 1:00 p.m., you can chat with Megan Lotts!
