August Focus: The Maker Studio at Liberty

Liberty Maker Studio

Did you know our new Liberty Branch Library has its own Maker Studio? It's true! Located on the lower level, our newest Maker Studio has much of the equipment you know and love, with some new additions of its own. Like our Delaware Studio, you'll find computers with design software, 3D printers, a wide-format printer (this one with UV curing for quicker drying!), laminator, heat press, and book binder. New to our Maker Studios and only available at Liberty are a photo light box, sublimation printer, and audio, video, and photo conversion equipment. You can learn more about all of our equipment on our website, or drop by on Wednesday, August 9 at 10:30 am for a full tour of our new space.
