TechCentral Enhancements

TechCentral is in a growth process that we will continually evaluate as we assess the changing needs of our community. Throughout 2013, we added additional equipment to TechCentral. Noteworthy additions included a laser engraver, vinyl cutter and an additional 3D printer, some of which will rotate among the branches.

Looking forward to 2014, plans are underway for the Lorain and Fleet branches to have their own 3D printers and iPad dispensers for onsite use. The Fleet Branch continues to be a primary location for adding technology and scheduling computer classes to offset the closing of the Broadway Branch in 2012. Additional MakerLabs will be conducted throughout the branches.

At the Main Library, the focus was to streamline services and personnel in order to manage TechCentral more efficiently so that more resources could be devoted to the branches.
