Makerspace

​The Makerspace in Willet Library is open to all Wesleyan College faculty, staff, and students.  Users will have 24-hour access to the room upon finishing a 30-minute training session with one of the Librarians.  We have consumables available through donation.  While most materials in the room are free to use, if you have specific material in mind for your project, you will need to provide your own.

Make sure you check our Makerspace calendar for information about workshops and events.

The Makerspace houses some of our technology, please visit our Library Technology page for more information about our 3D printers, 3D scanner, and Glowforge.

How to Get Involved

• Donate materials (fabric, yarn, and other supplies) directly to the space. Contact the Library if you have items you would like to donate.
• To make a monetary donation to the Makerspace, contact Whitney Davis.
• You can purchase, and ship directly to the library, items from our Amazon Wish List. The wish list is always current with items needed for the space. Our goal is to provide students with these consumables at no charge.
