What is a Makerspace?
The idea behind makerspaces is simple: they are places where people can come together to learn about technology, crafts, and other kinds of making as well as share knowledge and skills with others, and to apply this knowledge and skill by creating things.
The Malcolm and Charlotte MacQuarrie Maker Lab is located on the main floor of the Truro Library.
If you have questions about any Maker equipment, services or programs, please email info@cehpubliclibrary.ca.
