Makerspace Activities

A “makerspace” is a place for the community to get together to experiment,
design, and collaborate on projects. The library’s Make It at the Library project
features STEAM-based activities that emphasize exploration of science,
technology, engineering, art, and math. The library offers a variety of activities
for every age! April’s activities include:
