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 either an in-person session with a staff member for Brookfield Library cardholders, or attending a Maker Studio 101 class offered every month. 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.
