The Studio

The Studio at the Winnetka Library is a do-it-yourself makerspace for hands-on experiential learning and creativity.

The final projects of the day must be finished at least 15 minutes prior to closing time.

Appointments will be available Monday through Thursday for WNPLD cardholders only. Only one appointment will be permitted per cardholder per day.

Reserve Equipment

• WNPLD cardholders will be given priority for event registration. All others will be placed on a waiting list until one week prior to the event.
• The Studio has a maximum capacity of six simultaneous projects during drop-in hours, if at capacity patrons may be asked to return later. 
• Patrons are responsible for preparing their designs and completing their projects. The Studio staff are available to help troubleshoot and answer questions.
• Patrons are encouraged to bring in their own materials for scheduled appointments and drop-in sessions.
• The creative process often involves a lot of trial-and-error, so we suggest patrons bring in spare materials.  

The makerspace equipment cannot be used to create anything that:

• Violates local, state, or federal law.
• Could be used as or simulates weaponry.
• Is not appropriate in a library environment.
• Violates copyright or trademark protections.
