What is the Creativity Lab?
The Creativity Lab is an art and creative space for individual or group exploration. Library users can drop in to work on their projects anytime the library is open. Sign into the room with staff at the 1st floor desk. Larger projects may request a room reservation.
You must be age 13 and older to utilize the lab alone (12 and younger are welcome with adult supervision). Users are responsible for following all room use guidelines. These are posted below and on the doors to the room.
The Creativity Lab and many Library of Things items are made possible thanks to the generosity of Jean Sullivan.
