Join us Saturday, March 9 from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. for a Maker Day! All ages and skill levels welcome!
What is the Maker Movement?
The Maker Movement promotes learning-through-doing. This inspires the everyday person to become creators! “Maker culture” includes low-tech arts and crafts with high-tech engineers and coders, and everything in between. Anyone can become a maker with a little bit of creativity and inspiration! Come get inspired at our Maker Day, where we’ll have local clubs, training schools, and craft stations. It is the perfect opportunity to learn a new skill and find out how your local library supports the Maker Movement!
