Join us for Teen Hangout!

The Marion Public Library is rolling out a continuation of its popular journaling series Tuesdays in September. We're inviting you to find your inner zen at our Mindful Journaling class!  Think of it as the ultimate mash-up: classic diary vibes meet "doodling in the margins" artistry. This isn't just about putting pen to paper; it's about giving your emotions—from wild excitement to total boredom—a safe space to just... exist.
