What is the Idea Lab?
The Idea Lab is WCPL’s makerspace. It serves as an extension of the library to allow community members to expand their hobbies and recreational activities with locations at the Bob Kirby Branch & the Main Library.
The Library cannot be held responsible for when files do not print/cut correctly, pottery breaks, etc.
