Pikes Peak Library District’s (PPLD) makerspaces and studios promote creativity, ingenuity, and entrepreneurship by creating opportunities for individuals to collaborate, innovate, and generate content. The spaces support lifelong learning through technology and hands-on fabrication. Makerspaces and studios provide access for library card holders to a wide variety of equipment and tools.
To comply with laws and ensure as safe a space as possible:
- All makerspace and studio users must have a Creative Space Use Agreement on file.
- Children under the age of 13 must always be accompanied by a parent or guardian over 18.
- Children must be at least nine years old to access makerspaces.
- In the studios, children must be at least nine years old to use the equipment.
- Library employees must approve outside materials brought in to use with the equipment.
- Library employees may deny the creation of items or projects.
- PPLD, its employees, and Trustees do not assume responsibility for personal injury or damage or loss of personal property during the applicant’s use of a makerspace or studio.
- Training is required for some equipment before use will be allowed.
- Studio checkout equipment may only be checked out by patrons over 18 years of age with a resident library card (those starting with a 4).
