Welcome to the Makerspace!
Here, makers and creators of all ages are invited to work on projects and try out the library’s equipment.

We offer training on new technologies and free DIY Kits for everyone to use.
Materials are available at no cost during library programs, and if you’d like to use the space on your own, you’re welcome to bring your own supplies or use ours for a small fee.

 

The Makerspace is always available to stop in and grab crafts which will be available starting Tuesdays each week or just to use our tables!

We are growing, so if you have an idea for a new piece of equipment or program, please let us know.
