Universal Scribbles is Gwinnett County Public Library’s literary journal for teens by teens. The magazine highlights the outstanding writing and art work of middle and high school students in Gwinnett County.
In 2020, a group of teens met once a week to learn about writing and to create Gwinnett County Public Library’s teen literary magazine, Universal Scribbles. The magazine featured essays, poems, and artwork expressing how 2020 had impacted their lives. The teens had regular meetings with Wanda Luttrell at the Buford Branch, as well as meeting with guest lecturer, author Kati Gardner.
