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?

We have three locations now available and open to the public: the Pensacola Library BranchBellview Library Branch, and Westside Library Branch!

*Please note that the Westside Library is the only branch that offers access to the larger fiber arts machines.

*Additionally, please note that for larger and more complex projects, you will need to schedule an appointment(s).*
