    Journaling Journey from A-Zine: A Writing and Drawing Adventure for Kids Ages 9-12


    July 7, 2023

    Calling all kids ages 9-12! This summer, join Inlandia Institute for a writing and drawing adventure, “A Journaling Journey from A-Zine” at the Sgt. Salvador J. Lara Public Library in Casa Blanca. The workshop will meet in person for six consecutive Fridays beginning July 7, from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM, with daily writing prompts delivered to parents’ inboxes via email. Throughout the program, participants will learn how to create a blank “’zine” using materials supplied by Inlandia. The daily prompts will provide new guided activities related to a letter of the alphabet – with a special focus on items that can be found in the Kathleen M. Gonzalez Garden at the Lara, engaging their senses and activating their creativity.

    The program meets over the course of six Fridays, July 7, 14, 21, 28, August 4 & 11, 2023. These Friday check-ins will help keep kids connected to their peers, and allow time for participants to share what they’re created. Four facilitators with differing artistic skill sets will collaborate to develop activities and rotate through the weekly check-ins, with all participating in the culminating event on August 11. If your 9-12 year old is seeking a creative outlet this summer, Inlandia’s “A-Zine Writing and Drawing Adventure” could be the journey they’re looking for!

    The Sgt. Salvador J. Lara Public Library is located at 2985 Madison Ave, Riverside, CA 92504.

    Writers are encouraged to respond to prompts about universal themes related to the human condition: key relationships, physical places, historic events, personal hardships/recovery, love and loss, and personal achievement and development. It is these ties that bind us all in different stages of our lives. Each of us brings a unique perspective to every story. Maybe it's time to write yours. Space is limited.
