Come learn and create in Bridgeport Public Library's Makerspace!

Join us every Monday from 2:30-4:30 PM as we spotlight a different piece of Makerspace equipment each week. Be sure to check the event calendar below to see what we will be doing in this week's Makerspace Open Hours.

Due to space and safety concerns, we will only bring out the equipment advertised for that date. All other equipment will be unavailable.

No registration is required, but some equipment requires you to bring certain materials from home.

Be sure to read the event descriptions carefully.
