Just For Makers

Makers at Heart

Channel your inner artist, improve a crafting skill, or learn how to incorporate technology into your creativity.  In 309 Creative, the library’s makerspace, you can bring your ideas to life!

If digital making is more your thing you can reserve our Sound Studio to record music, edit film, or make a podcast.

Convert slides, photographs, audio cassettes, and VHS tapes into digital files to preserve family memories using a digitization station in our computer lab.

Monthly programs are offered on a variety of crafts, skills, and technology for beginners and intermediate learners. If a classroom environment isn’t for you, learn at your own pace during our Open Labs in 309 Creative or book a one-on-one appointment for the Sound Studio, Computer Lab, or digitizing stations.
