Citation Needed is a workshop series and small press that makes books with kids.

Citation Needed creates project-based arts and literacy experiences for children, amplifying their voices through the artmaking, poetry, and publishing. We partner with libraries, schools, community centers, and other small presses to offer workshops that culminate in collaborative and individual artist books.

Our workshops are interdisciplinary and designed to follow the curiosities of students. We see bookmaking as a way to build reading and writing skills, self-worth, and an appreciation for tactile media.
