St. Bernadette library has recently installed a makerspace! If you are wondering what that is, here is a brief description from the American Libraries magazine:
Kids gather to make Lego robots; teens create digital music, movies, and games with computers and mixers; and students engineer new projects while adults create prototypes for small business products with laser cutters and 3D printers. Many libraries across the US have developed makerspaces—places to create, build, and craft—and they are experiencing increased visits and demand as a result. For public libraries, they are places to promote community engagement. For academic libraries, they are places where students and faculty feel welcome to do classwork and research.
So, take a peek at what is being created in St. Bernadette Library:
