Junk Journal Drop-in

Date
All day
Location Shelby County Public Library
Tags Teens, Arts & Crafts
Teens are invited to personalize their summer reading experience through Junk Journaling, a creative, low-pressure art practice that combines collage, writing, doodling, and memory-keeping. Throughout the summer, a mobile cart of materials will be available during designated times, allowing teens to drop in and gradually build a junk journal at their own pace. The cart will be stocked with journals, magazines, scrap paper, stickers, washi tape, stamps, markers, glue, and other mixed-media supplies. Each session may feature optional prompts connected to summer reading themes—such as favorite quotes, character inspiration, book moods, or reading reflections—but teens are free to create however they choose.
