scienceFREEOpen Makerspace Hours
Desmond-Fish Public Library · Garrison
Want to create an object on a 3D printer? Cut decals on a Cricut? Engrave a gift with a laser cutter? Create custom chocolate molds on a vacuum former? You can do it all – and more! – at the Innovation & Learning Center, the Desmond-Fish Public Library’s makerspace and education center. During open makerspace hours, patrons can use, learn about, and experiment with all the tools available in the ILC, whether to work on a personal project, dream up something new, or just learn new skills. Don’t know what to make? A new stay-and-make project is available every month, suitable for both new and experienced creators! Click here for a full list of makerspace equipment and software. Please note: due to staffing limitations, use for other library needs, or repair status, not all equipment or software may be available at each visit. Email our Digital Services Librarian or book an appointment to inquire about the use of specific materials. Some equipment may require a short training session and not be available for use by children. Some consumable resources (3D printer filament, vacuum former sheets, wooden boards etc.) may incur a small fee. Patrons may bring their own consumable resources for no charge. In order to accommodate everyone, dedicated one-on-one instruction is not available during open lab hours, although assistance with projects is available as time permits. If you would like training or dedicated project assistance, please book an appointment. If you are seeking help with a computer or device issue, please book a computer help appointment.

FREELEGO Dream and Design
Desmond-Fish Public Library · Garrison
In this no-commitment, weekly club, kids and teens in grades 2-12 can practice their building skills, show off their creativity, make friends, and learn new techniques. Each week, we’ll feature a creative challenge for builders to complete (or work on a personal project), and introduce advanced building techniques. We are not able to accommodate adult builders at this time; however, check out our Tall & Small Lego Day series for a chance for kids to build alongside their grownups! Builders have access to our wide collection of Lego system bricks; advanced builders can experiment with robotics using our Lego Mindstorms and WeDo kits, with instructor assistance if time permits. Do you have extra Lego gathering dust that you might want to see live a new life at the Library? We are always in need of extra bricks! Email us if you can help.
