A place for artists, tinkerers, techies, innovators and entrepreneurs alike, the Makerspace features technology that is sure to help you grow your creative ideas. The Makerspace is open Monday-Thursday from 12 p. Projects are subject to approval by Makerspace Staff and materials used must fall within the approved materials guidelines.
Most of the equipment is available for use during Makerspace lab hours. Some devices can be checked out for up to five days with a valid library card. For questions, please email makerspace councilbluffslibrary. Adults, 18 years or older, and Teens in 6th grade through 12th grade may use the Makerspace. Youth under 6th grade may use the Makerspace if they are accompanied by parent or guardian, who the Library will consider the responsible party, or if they are participating in a Library sponsored program.
Individual equipment may have further age restrictions for use. Certain tools, technology, and equipment require a process of certification prior to use. For the equipment that is only available for in-library use, a One-on-One Equipment Tutorial can be scheduled with a staff member.
Once certified, patrons can reserve a Makerspace Station online. Library staff must approve all patron-supplied materials before being used on or with Makerspace tools, technology, and equipment.
