Makers Welcome
What is a makerspace? It’s a community area where you can create things, invent, and meet other people with similar interests. It’s also sometimes called a hackerspace.
These spaces help support our creative community with their projects, prototypes, and all sorts of different uses. Express your creative side and make @ the library!
