Chabot Maker-space FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Who can use the space?

The library Create/Learn/Share space is open to currently registered students. We do ask that all students sign in at the reference desk, and state how they are going to use the space and what supplies they will need. The library staff will make sure that all users have signed the User Agreement and understand the Safety Regulations for their activities. We will also keep the space open for study when not in use.

2. How many people are allowed in the space at one time?

We will limit the number of people to 4-11 at one time.

3. What are some possible activities?

The possibilities are endless, but we will schedule special workshops and provide limited tools and materials for creative craft and technology projects, as teh budget allows. The space can be used for children's story-times and recording of personal histories, paper art, bookmarks, bookbinding, zines, posters, origami, chess and other games. Technology activities will include mini-robotics, electronics, 3D printer and materials, sewing machines, cutting tables, and a range of supplies.

This is an area under discussion, but, the room will be suitable for small group creative projects and activities of all sorts.
