The Makerspace is closed to the public due to our responsibility in helping to limit the community spread of COVID-19. Please check back regularly for reopening news. We anticipate limited services will resume in late Summer! (Updated June, 2021)
Gather with your fellow creators and tinkerers to create and learn in our new Makerspace. High-tech tools and art materials will help you embrace the DIY spirit in an exciting, state-of-the-art environment. Whether you're looking to refine a skill, share a creative experience with others or use the tools to solve a problem, you'll find ample opportunity to discover and try new things.
Attend a one-on-one session! Library staff will work with you for an hour to show you a machine or help you develop a plan for making your own project. Learn a new skill or tool in this low-pressure environment. Contact jburns@tcpl.org or register on the events calendar to make your appointment. At this time, we only accept 1-on-1 appointments with patrons ages 16+. Patrons may register for up to two (2) sessions of 1-on-1 Makerspace appointments.
We have all kinds of Makerspace workshops for children, teens and adults. Learn from a professional while working on a unique project. Library events are always free for participants.
The Makerspace is closed until further notice as we weather the COVID-19 changes. Check the calendar for designated drop-in programs and open hours, which are for ages 12+ and are first-come first-served. Make whatever you want independently during open hours, or take advantage of the knowledge of volunteers who are happy to help. Stay for a while or just stop by to see what’s happening.
Did you make something awesome in the Makerspace? We want to see it! Tag us @tcplny on Instagram. Hearing from patrons inspires us and helps us know what YOU want to see at the library.
During one-on-one learning experiences and programs, you may experiment with TCPL's raw materials free of cost. If you plan to make multiples or create a large project, please plan to bring your own raw materials.
