Library Makerspace Officially Open

Lambton County opened its first library Makerspace to the public Saturday.

Branch services manager Laurel van Dommelen says it's on the second floor of Sarnia's downtown library initially, with a mobile Makerspace to visit various libraries around the county by early 2017.

"Technology available will include a lazer cutter, 3D printing, vinyl cutter, book binding, sewing machine, a VHS converter and button makers. Technologies that aren't easily accessible or available to the public for themselves," says van Dommelen.

The grand opening was Saturday from 1pm until 5pm with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 2pm.
