LogoNote: All Makerspace Studio services are currently closed to the public as we prepare this space for its next chapter. 

Barrington Public Library’s Makerspace Studio is a dedicated space for the exploration of technologies past and present, providing access to a variety of STEM-related tools and equipment with the goal of creating engaging, hands-on experiences that promote discovery and self-directed learning. 

The self-service media conversion station in the Makerspace is retired. Similar tools are available to borrow and take home through the Library of Things.  

Makerspace Studio is located in the Westfall Children's Program Room (Second Floor).
