Join us for our 3D Printer Orientation!
This orientation session will introduce participants to 3D printing services in the library.

Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a 3D printer.
This event is open to all ages. Children ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
