The Library will celebrate New Jersey Makers Day on Saturday, March 26! This year is going to be better than ever, thanks to a NJMD mini-grant, Breadsmith, and the support of the Friends of the Library. Children and families can join us in the Community Center from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. to test out a variety of Maker Stations.
Drop in to test coding robots, create a DIY water filtration system, and make art using recycled materials. For children ages 5+ and their families.
Adults and teens can join us in person for a New Jersey Makers Day Virtual Reality program at 2 p.m. Meet a local game designer who has created a VR app that allows you to pay classical music with a wave of your wand and demo the app yourself on the Library’s new Oculus!
