About the Maker's Space

The Maker's Space is a collaborative workspace where people of all ages and skill levels can come together to create, learn, and innovate. It provides access to a variety of tools, materials, and technologies such as 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters, and sewing machines, enabling users to build anything from crafts to high-tech projects. Makerspaces encourage creativity, experimentation, and problem-solving by fostering a hands-on, DIY approach. Whether you're a hobbyist, student, or entrepreneur, a makerspace is an inclusive environment where you can share ideas, gain new skills, and bring your ideas to life.

• Equipment within the Maker’s Space Lab can be booked in 1-, 2-, and 3- hour time slots. If the equipment does not have a booking, the equipment is available on a first come first serve basis.
• All bookings require 2-days-notice to allow for staff to confirm staff schedule for assistance and to confirm the equipment is available to use at the time and day requested. 
• Bookings made for equipment use or staff assistance will be held for 30 minutes past the confirmed start time. If the customer is not present, the booking will be cancelled and the equipment will be made available for others to use.
• If a customer is booked for a certain time slot and would like to continue past their time slot and there is nobody booked in after, the customer may continue. If there is someone booked in, they must finish their booking in the allotted time and return later or another day to continue.
• The last booking for the day will end 30 minutes before the library closes for the evening, to allow time for clean-up and settlement of payment.
