What’s a Creation Space?
These are creative workspaces within our libraries for making things! These spaces are all about learning, creating, exploring, collaborating, and sharing in a friendly environment. Here you can expect to explore a wide variety of equipment and tools, from simple hand tools to the newest technologies.
Make It! Learn It! Create It!
Located at our three resource libraries we have three unique creation spaces: Make It!, Learn It!, and Create It! Our spaces are ideal for makers, entrepreneurs, artists, and musicians of all ages. Here you can explore all things STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) to help fulfill your creative goals.
Drop by to use equipment on a first-come, first-served basis or book equipment or services in advance.
Some examples of what you can do at our spaces:
