The Work Bench
Welcome to the Work Bench Newsletter!
 
This newsletter will go out monthly and keep you up to date on everything happening in the Work Bench. We will also use this list to send out updates when machines are pulled from use or made available again. 
 
All current Work Bench users have been subscribed to this newsletter- you can unsubscribe using the unsubscribe option at the bottom of this email if you would like.
 
This newsletter is a direct result of the Work Bench survey we sent out towards the end of last year as a common request in the survey was an easier way to stay up to date on classes and equipment issues. We appreciate everyone who took the time to fill out that survey and hope this newsletter will prove helpful.

Info on Laser Cutter:

You may have noticed that there are no laser classes currently scheduled. Many of you know that the laser has been down for repair the last couple of weeks. We appreciate everyone's patience as we worked through the repair process and reviewed our options. Thanks to the generosity of the Bozeman Library Friends and Foundation we have made the decision to move forwards with a brand new xTool P2S laser cutter and engraver! The laser has arrived in the building but we do need some time to set up new trainings and processes. We will provide updates as things move forwards so keep an eye out for future emails or posts on the library website! 
 
I want to reiterate our thanks to the Bozeman Library Friends and Foundation for funding the purchase of a new laser. They help fund Work Bench equipment and give us the opportunity to offer free 3D printing and other services. We deeply appreciate their generosity and recognize that they help make the Work Bench as successful as it is. 
 
Spotlight on LinkedIn Learning

Did you know the library provides free access to LinkedIn Learning? This is a great resource to learn more about creating designs for the Work Bench equipment and expanding your skills in 3D printing, embroidery, and more. You can study the arts of digital photography, sound recording, video game design, or other areas of personal development.
