Get to Know BCL: DAM Makerspace
This year, we're featuring statistics and your feedback to highlight services and events that BCL provides to the community. DAM - Design And Make - the makerspace at the main library, is a space for community members of all ages to learn, practice skills, collaborate, prototype, and problem-solve. Since opening in 2022, more than 30,000 people have visited DAM to use 3D printers, Cricut machines, sewing machines, visual art supplies, and more during Open Lab hours or special programs. One visitor recently told us, "Love the makerspace. I had no idea I was so creative. Thank you for this wonderful place!" Come visit and see how creative you are! See past Get to Know BCL features.
