Open Maker Hours
The Fletcher Family Innovation Center at the Main Library is a maker space where all community members 
may enjoy free access to tools and technology to engage in projects, learn new skills, and collaborate hands-on with others through creating and making.
Access
Open Maker Hours are available to valid CW MARS cardholders age 12 or older who complete an orientation and agree to follow the Usage Guidelines and Library's Patron Behavior Policy.
Patrons who are between the ages of 12-17 years of age need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian who has also completed an orientation.
