About the MakerStudio
The MakerStudio is Library space dedicated for exploring, creating, inventing, tinkering and learning hands-on!
All of the supplies are free for library users, but we ask that you use supplies only in the MakerStudio, share supplies with others, and clean your workstation when you are done!
The MakerStudio is open during library hours, and closes 30 minutes prior to library closing. Occasionally, the space may be closed for library events and programs.
New Open Studio Hours
Beginning December 1, the MakerStudio will be starting age-specific Open Studio Hours!
During Open Studio Hours, makers are welcome to use the space and materials to work independently on projects. Bring your own project to work on, or browse the space for ideas and inspiration.
