Calling all creatives! Have you ever wanted to make your own quilt? Or how about use a 3D printer to make a new gadget?

Welcome to the WFPL Makerspace, where we have the tools and classes to help you make whatever your heart desires!

In addition to having access to top-of-the-line machines and software, you will now be able to take one-on-one classes to either learn a new skill or build upon the ones you already have.

Did we mention all of this is free with a WFPL library card?
