Where Is It?

The Makerspace is at the Downtown Library on the 2nd floor, near the elevators.

How Old Do I Have to Be?

• If you're over 18, you just need to fill out the required paperwork.
• If you're over 13 but under 18, you need to have a waiver signed by an adult guardian, the guardian must be present when turning in your waiver.
• If you're over 7 but under 13, you must be accompanied by an adult guardian at all times. Adult guardians may be responsible for a maximum of two children, and may not have their own appointment at the same time.
• If you're under 7, you can't use the Makerspace yet, but keep an eye out for special events for young children.
