3D-Printing in the Children's Library

Kids ages 8-13 can schedule an appointment with library staff and learn how to 3D print, or schedule a return visit for additional printing sessions with library staff or with a caregiver who has completed our training (see below).

When scheduling a printing session, you'll be asked to choose from the following options:

1.) Print-ready: Choose or design your file ahead of time and then learn how to send your idea to the 3D printer and watch it print. Not sure what to print? We can help you choose.

2.) Tutorial: Learn more about the ins and outs of 3D design and printing with a longer appointment (about 30 minutes).

Note: Kids 11-13 can also choose be trained and badged in the 2nd floor makespace with adult permission, which allows them to print independently.

Parents and caregivers can sign up to be trained and badged in the 2nd floor Imaginarium makerspace, which allows you to:

• Teach your kids to 3D print in the Children’s Library

• Use the 3rd floor printers (when available) with your kids
