Welcome to the Connetqot Public Library's Makerspace. A makerspace is a place where creative members of our community can gather, create, invent, and learn. In addition to providing the latest technology, like 3D printing, virtual reality (VR), a portable chromakey green screen studio, and Apple iMac design stations, our makerspace will continue to grow and include equipment for those who wish to work with paper, fabrics and woods. Let the innovation begin!

A dedicated and welcoming space for our teen members to learn, work, play and collaborate, which will include our extensive Teen book collection and room for classes, events & meetings.

Explore the world and develop new skills with gaming experiences, including virtual reality, console/retro/PC and even table-top gaming. Let the games begin!

New and exciting curriculum is being developed for the Learning Commons, including coding/hardware classes, and 3D modeling/printing, in addition to our popular line-up of teen classes

Members of the Connetquot Public Library can request that a 3D printed object be created on our MakerGear M2 Dual Extruder 3D Printer. You may develop your own 3D model, using software like TinkerCAD, or submit a design file licensed under a GNU General Public License or Creative Commons licenses. The cost for this service is 50 cents per half hour.

Get ready to experience Virtual Reality (VR). Virtual Reality uses a computer, headset, and sensors to immerse you directly into a three-dimensional, computer-generated world. Your head, hands, and body movements are tracked to let you interact with what you see inside the headset. Call today or check our calendar to find the next available time we will be running demonstrations. Parental supervision is required for children under 13.

What will I be able to do with VR? Explore: Experience our planet like you’ve never experienced it before! Travel around the world—to distant planets and even back in time—without ever leaving the library. Learn: Discover more about the ocean, outer space, or the human body through VR experiences. Create: Make works of art in VR. Play: Try gaming by immersing yourself in a 3D environment.
