Makerspace

There is no charge to use the equipment in our MakerSpaces, however
users are responsible for the costs of consumable materials (e.g., 3D
printing filament, vinyl material), which will be charged to users based
on the actual cost of such materials to the Library.
Limited supplies of consumable materials are available for purchase.
Fees for consumable materials are posted in our MakerSpaces and
are also available upon request. We encourage makers to bring their
own pre-approved materials for their projects.
