IdeaSpace: Making + Media

The library has long been a pioneer in offering Maker technology to customers. Hundreds of library customers have undergone training to earn certification badges, allowing them to use the technology independently. Library staff bring expertise in empowering technology exploration and learning to this new venture.

The facility includes a sound booth for audio/video recording, 3D printers, a laser cutter, sewing and embroidery machines, drawing tablets, and more. Library staff provide access and training at no charge to the community.

IdeaSpace Open Hours: 2 PM- 8 PM, Monday-Thursday and Saturday 12 PM - 5 PM
