3-D Printing
Intro to 3D Printing: Bookmarks
Thursday, December 11
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Interested in 3D printing or design? Come check out our Makerspace's 3D printer! We will be using the free and easy-to-use TinkerCAD to create your custom bookmarks. Our staff will guide you through the process of using TinkerCAD, where you will learn how to add text, shapes, and other details to the design before it is printed out.
Once your design is complete, you have the opportunity to watch as the 3D printer begins to create your truly unique and personalized bookmark!
If you did not finish your design by the end of the program, you can email the design to staff and they will print it out for you with no charge. If your print has not finished by the time the program or library day has ended, staff will finish the print with no charge the following day and notify you via email or phone that your bookmark is ready!
Want to get a jump start on the tutorials so you can start designing or printing when you arrive? Visit https://www.tinkercad.com/join to sign up for free!

We will be Reading:
 The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers by Samuel Burr

Clayton Stumper might be in his twenties, but he dresses like your grandpa and fusses like your aunt. Abandoned at birth on the steps of the Fellowship of Puzzlemakers, he was raised by a group of eccentric enigmatologists and now finds himself among the last survivors of a fading institution. When the esteemed crossword compiler and main maternal presence in Clayton's life, Pippa Allsbrook, passes away, she bestows her final puzzle on him: a promise to reveal the mystery of his parentage and prepare him for life beyond the walls of the commune. So begins Clay's quest to uncover the secrets surrounding his birth, secrets that will change the Clay--and the Fellowship--forever. The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers is pure joy, a story about love and family and what it means to find your people--no matter what age you are--
