Make an Open makerLAB Appointment

Space is limited; appointments are highly recommended and can be made up to 14 days in advance. Longwood Library cardholders can either reserve a specific piece of equipment and bring their own materials or purchase a makerLAB Kit at the makerLAB. Open makerLAB is a D.I.Y. self-guided experience. A staff member is here to assist with questions but for more in-depth training, patrons can take one of our makerLAB classes.

Printing fees are $1.00 per hour or $0.50 per 30 minutes. Print jobs are printed with Ultimaker PLA filament, a plant-based, biodegradable material.
