FAQs

How can I schedule one-on-one training?

Contact us using our Contact Us form and one of our Makerspace Staff members will respond to you as soon a staff member is available.

What can I do during open hours?

Open hours are designed for people who want to work independently. Staff can assist with general inquiries during this time, but access to equipment and assistance may be limited. To insure you get the support and access you need, consider scheduling a 1-on-1 appointment. 1-on-1 appointments can be scheduled by email, phone, or in-person.

What equipment is available?

We have a variety of equipment available for use including a Cricut, Silhouette Cameo, Dremel Laser Cutter, Embroidery Machines, Heat Press, Serger, Sewing Machines, Sizzix, and an X-Carve CNC Milling Machine. We also have crafting tools such as a button makers, leather-working tools, metal stamping tools, jewelry tool kits, and various paints and pencils.  Need a paper cutter?  We have that.  Need something laminated?  We have that too!

Do I need to provide my own materials?

There are some materials that you can purchase in the Makerspace listed HERE. Materials may be available in limited quantities. Personal materials to be used with equipment must be approved by Makerspace Staff.

Do I need to bring my own supplies?

The library has limited supplies on hand. Please contact us to check availability. Personal supplies must be approved for use by Makerspace Staff.

What if someone else is using the equipment I want to use?

Use of the equipment is on a first come, first served basis. To schedule time on a piece of equipment, contact us for a 1-on-1 appointment.

Can I reserve time in the Makerspace?
