elementia was created in 2005 by librarian Angel Tucker to give teens an opportunity to share their voices with the community. The first issue was made with the support of Eriko Akaike-Toste, a youth services volunteer, and Theo Elliot Goodloe, a teen volunteer who also created the theme and name for the magazine. For this issue, writers drew inspiration from the idea, “What is your darkside . . . what is inside?” This issue includes 18 pieces of poetry, fiction and nonfiction.
Whether you’re into writing, art, music, science, gaming, or all of the above, there’s something for every interest with our virtual summer events! Check out the full schedule on our events page page.
