On Saturday, November 2nd 2019 the library hosted its opening Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the brand-new Makerspace, Co-Op, and Cafe!
Please register for a small-group class here, or email reference@ewml.org to contact someone about becoming certified to use the items in the Makerspace. Be on the lookout for additional classes!
The Makerspace at Edith Wheeler Memorial Library is a place where community members can gather to collaborate, create, learn and invent in a safe space using tools and technologies that they may not otherwise have access to. The Makerspace is for educational and entertainment use only. It is not available for for-profit ventures. Please note: Some items will only be available for library programming.
Anyone with a library card in good standing in our system.
How can I use these spaces?
