DOWNTOWN LIBRARY PARK COMMUNITY MEETING

Please join us this Wednesday, January 11 at 6pm, VIRTUALLY, for a Community Meeting where we'll debut park design alternatives for the future park located next to the Downtown Library. Please visit our website for Zoom meeting details, project information and a link to an upcoming survey regarding the options being presented: https://www.rwcparks.org/DowntownLibraryPark. This meeting was originally scheduled in person, and is now virtual.

THANK YOU MAKERS!

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the Makers who came to our first Winter MakerClub. Over the course of 10 sessions, we had over 1,000 people attend! MakerClub gave families and kids a space to come during winter break to get crafty and creative in the Makerspace. We heard from many of you that were first time visitors to the Makerspace and we hope it won't be the last! We also wanted to thank our innovative and tireless staff for pulling the MakerClub off. It was a great success!

If you would like to continue to stay involved in the Makerspace, check the calendar HERE. We have Crafty Wednesdays, Coding Club, Digital Makers and so much more. See you in the Makerspace!
