(NEW!) Maker Mondays
Join us in the Sandburg Library Makerspace every second Monday from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. for our NEW Maker Monday series! Maker Monday sessions are intended to be a fun, laid-back way for students to learn how to use the Makerspace and its equipment to its full potential.
A few notes about our sessions:
- Can't make it at exactly 11? Feel free to stop in at any point during the session!
- Due to limited supplies, some sessions may only be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- If you are unable to make it during the scheduled time but would still like to participate, contact the library to schedule a private session.
For more information, contact Rebecca Eaton at reaton@sandburg.edu or 309.341.5290 or stop by E234.
