New! Though we can't open our Open Lab and Media Lab yet, you can now use your library card to borrow maker kits to enjoy at home.
As soon as possible, we will offer maker workshops again. Eugene Public Library’s maker activities offer a wide variety of ways to develop skills, use tools, explore, invent, and create for success in school, work, art, and life. We provide opportunities for all ages and every level: hobbyist, student, and professional.
"Maker" refers to traditional tinkering, crafts, and do-it-yourself projects, plus high-tech additions including computers, electronics, robotics, and 3D design and printing.
Eugene Public Library’s maker events and spaces are designed to meet a range of community needs including enhancing kids’ STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) education, providing positive activities for teens, and supporting adults’ career development and lifelong learning. Primary funding for the Maker Hub has been provided through fundraising by the Eugene Public Library Foundation.
