Our Makerspaces are reopening in 2022

We are establishing creative spaces for the community to use at three of our local libraries:

  • Coburg
  • Brunswick
  • Glenroy

These Makerspaces are available for our community to learn new skills, connect with each other and have fun!

We asked you how you imagined using these spaces

We wanted to

  • learn more about what makes you excited to use the spaces
  • show you what will be available at the spaces
  • improve the capacity of the Makerspaces to meet community need
  • create opportunities for community members to connect, create and upskill at their local library.
