What is a MakerSpace?

MakerSpaces are places where people can:

• Connect with others to learn new skills, and create together
• Discover new technologies and talents 
• Share their skills and knowledge
• And become “Makers”!

Our MakerSpace is a collection of resources and is located in our Ingersoll Branch. Our space is small, but mighty, filled with great tech and tools for all of your maker projects. With the tools in our MakerSpace, you could try your hand at robotics, create a custom stamp for your new small business, make a prototype with our 3D printer, or even film a podcast or TikTok video! The sky's the limit when it comes to your creativity.

How to access our MakerSpace:

• Book an appointment by emailing ingersolllibrary@ocl.net
