Springfield’s Lincoln Library launched their new makerspace over the weekend.
The library debuted their Collaboratory, or “CoLab,” with an open house on Saturday.
The CoLab allows free, public access to two sewing and embroidery machines, a podcasting station, a 3-D printer, two cricut makers, a cricut heat press and a serger.
The CoLab will also host events to help hone creative and technical skills, such as the upcoming serging and sewing classes, as well as an introductory podcasting class; no library card is needed to use the space.
The library plans to add new equipment as demand increases.
