Reserve Equipment
COVID-19 has changed the way the Library allows patrons to utilize makerspace and studio equipment. Instead of hosting open hours, where you’d utilize a piece of equipment on a first-come, first-served basis, you can now reserve your time! Use the link above to schedule time for: Makerspace machinery, studios, and studio check-out equipment.

Kids at Home Art Show
In the spirit of community, and since so many students are now learning from home, we are inviting all kids in grades K-12 across El Paso County to submit images of their works of art. Any type of art – paintings, sketches, sculptures, photographs, fiber works, you name it – will be accepted.

The event will feature a testing strategies session, as well as free practice tests and personalized feedback sessions with the instructor.
