WHAT IS THE MAKER STUDIO?

The Maker Studio is a “makerspace”—a place where people can come together to use (and learn to use) tools for developing creative projects. The Library’s Maker Studio contains the most popular offerings of maker technology. A variety of workshops are offered in the Studio. Members can also get certified to use the equipment on their own during Maker Studio open hours.
