Come and join the Montevallo Legacy Project and Parnell Library on Friday, 6/26 at 11:30 am at the library to learn how to create a one-page fold zine, explore how storytelling captures history and builds community, and make your own personal zine about what Montevallo means to you: your favorite places, stories, and memories.
