WYZE (Wyoming Zine Exchange) is a new statewide project inviting people across Wyoming to share pieces of everyday life through zines. Centered in libraries and community spaces, the project aims to build a recurring statewide exchange and archive that captures the textures of living here, from small-town routines and local traditions to quiet moments that might otherwise go undocumented. This session will introduce the structure and upcoming launch of the program, including participation options, exhibits, programming support, and educator resources designed to make involvement approachable for libraries of all sizes. We’ll also talk about why zines work so well for community-building, creativity, and connection, especially in local spaces, and invite attendees to help shape the program’s next steps and future growth.
