Makers Day is almost here!

Monday, March 11, 2024

Hi Hoboken!

Make your way to the library for New Jersey Makers Day this Saturday, March 16! Join us from 11am to 4pm for a celebration of creativity, innovation, and community.

New Jersey Makers Day is a statewide event that promotes and introduces maker culture and the values associated with making, tinkering and STEM-based learning. This year, our library is excited to collaborate with Hoboken MakerBar to offer activities for all ages in our MakerSpace and Story Time Room. Try your hand at 3D printing, button making, or designing your own mug with our Cricut Mug Press!

Looking forward to tinkering, making, and creating with you!

Regards,

Jennie Pu

Library Director
