Zines for teens
Wendy Xu, author of the graphic novel “Infinity Particle,” will lead students in grades 6 and up in a zine workshop on March 15, , 10:30 a.m.-noon, at the Milpitas Library, 160 N Main St.
Using a single sheet of paper, students will learn to fold and assemble an eight-page comic book. Then they’ll make copies for distribution.
“Infinity Particle” is a teen selection for this year’s Silicon Valley Reads. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/4h5TrGz.
Shredding it
Keyes Law Group in Milpitas is holding its second annual Shred Day event on April 19, when residents can bring their sensitive documents to be destroyed rather than tossing them in the recycling bin.
Documents ripe for the shredding include old tax returns, bank statements, pay stubs, medical records and voided checks. Starting at 10 a.m., residents can bring up to seven banker-size boxes of documents to Keyes Law Group’s parking lot, located at 500 E. Calaveras Blvd.
The law group is requesting a $10 donation per box to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. To reserve a spot at the shredder, call 408-766-7668.
