What is a Makerspace?

A Makerspace is a place in which people with shared interests, especially in technology, can gather to work on projects while sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge.

The Tualatin Public Library Makerspace is a place to try out new tools, learn new techniques, and share ideas with other makers in the Tualatin community. Let’s play, learn, and create together! 

Tualatin Public Library is an active, vibrant space, and the Makerspace furthers our mission of empowering and enriching our community through learning, discovery, and interaction.  

Through the Makerspace, Tualatin Library seeks to enhance technology access for our community’s youth, and to support an interest in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). The project is funded through the City of Tualatin with support from the Tualatin Library Foundation. 

Who can use the Makerspace?

Anyone with a signed waiver can use the Makerspace. There are certain items and activities that are available for any age. Some items require certification and are reserved for people ages 15 and up. Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
