Before you buy that $7 shirt from Temu that might disintegrate in the wash, why not try to make it yourself? This month’s shared book displays feature all things do-it-yourself (DIY). From physical to digital art forms, learn how to create something new or improve the skills you already have.
These DIY-focused shared displays align with the CSN Libraries upcoming Zine programming next week. From November 10 through November 14, you can stop by any campus library and create your own mini magazine, or “zine” (pronounced zee-n), at one of our self-paced zine stations.
You can also attend our live Zine Workshop at the North Las Vegas campus library on Monday, Nov. 10 from 12pm-2pm. Please contact librarian Carrieann Cahall with any questions: Carrieann.Cahall@csn.edu
