In the Maker Studio
Make your dream project at the Brookfield Library!
Becoming Certified
To use our Maker Studio, members are required to complete a certification process that includes a virtual training course and an in-person session with a staff member. Please fill out this interest form to request the training materials for the Maker Track, which includes the 3D Printers, 3D Carving, and Laser Cutter; or the Crafting Track, which includes the Cutting and Sewing machines. At this moment, training and certification is only available to LSF Brookfield Library Cardholders.
Once you have completed the virtual training, we will schedule a one-on-one, hands-on training session to conclude your certification. When you have completed this step, you will be able to reserve the equipment during Maker Studio open hours.
