The Studio at the Library provides access to technology and equipment for individuals to learn new skills, collaborate with friends, create content, and connect with our knowledgeable guides

​

All minors (17 and under) who would like to use the ACPL Maker Labs must have a participation release signed by a parent/guardian on file. Children in sixth grade or younger must be directly supervised by a responsible parent, guardian, or caregiver while in the Maker Lab."
