The Studio offers a variety of in-person programs, to get you started on a new project or take your skills to the next level. Introductory programs focus on basic machine and software operation, while intermediate programs build on previous knowledge allowing you to explore new techniques, skills, or types of projects. Most programs are all-ages.
The Studios at the Library
The Studios at the Library (formerly Maker Lab) provides access to technology and equipment for individuals to learn new skills, collaborate with friends, create content, and connect with our knowledgeable guides.
Studio Hours
Unlike our guided programs, our studio open hours allow patrons to create and explore their own projects. Machines are first-come, first-serve. Dates and times are subject to change. Staff support is available upon request.
