  • Customers may not leave items without pre-approval.

Orientation:

All Richland Library cardholders interested in using the studio will need to attend the orientation workshop(s).

Your orientation will also include a tour of our two woodworking spaces, the Makerspace and Fabrication Studio, and include a discussion on your past experience and how you plan to use the space. A waiver will be signed at this time. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled before an individual is approved access to particular pieces of equipment. The orientation process takes into account skill level and aptitude; the process may take less time for those with prior experience. *library card required

Please note, wait times for orientations vary from one to three weeks depending on availability.

Appointments:

The Makerspace is open and available to those who have gone through an orientation unless there is a program or one-on-one appointment in progress. Customers are welcome to e-mail Lucy Hamilton to inquire about studio availability. 

If you have a project for which you would like assistance or advice, e-mail lhamilton@richlandlibrary.com to book an appointment.
