Introducing “The Cranium” Makerspace
Our NEW Makerspace is launching on May 23, 2024!
A makerspace is a collaborative work space for making, learning, exploring and sharing where people gather to get creative with DIY projects. The Cranium Makerspace will serve as a communal creative space open to kids, teens, and adults to learn and use a variety of maker equipment such as Glowforge Laser Cutters, Toybox 3D printers, Robo E3 3D printers, Vaquform machines, Cricut machines, sewing machines, metal stamping tools, button makers, Sublimation printers, craft supplies, and more! Some Makerspace items, such as toybox 3D printers, will also be available for check-out with your library card through the Library of Things!
The Library’s goal is to provide a space for patrons to cultivate their knowledge and skills in crafting and technology while building community. The Makerspace is a place to create, invent, and learn.
The Cranium Makerspace’s Grand Opening will be on Thursday, May 23 from 3 – 4 PM at the Main Library! Stop by for the ribbon-cutting and take a look at some of our maker tools while we share upcoming programs for June and more!

The Cranium will officially open for public use starting in July 2024.
These Cranium Makerspace programs are generously sponsored by the Friends of the Thomas Crane Public Library.
The Cranium was supported by grant funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the federal Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
