Borrow a Makerbox
Wright Library's Makerboxes allow you to take home exciting equipment, tools, or kits so you can try something new, learn or develop a skill, accomplish practical tasks, make someone a gift, or discover a new hobby.
Create, build, tinker and learn at your own pace. Then share your experiences and creations on Wright Library's Facebook or Instagram.
Due to the potentially high replacement cost, borrowers must be 18 years or older and members of the library for at least two months. A signed liability waiver must also be on file with the library.
