Pioneer Library System has a dedicated Maker Lab at their Norman Central Library and a traveling makerspace, the Maker Mobile, that visits all the system’s libraries to provide STEAM-focused programming. The Maker Mobile makes appearances at other locations and events in the community, too. The Maker Lab includes professional-grade tools like a sound lab, video lab, 3D printer, laser cutters and engravers, CNC router and more.
“When the lab is at its best, you get so many different levels and walks of life,” shared Pence. “It’s pretty easy to get started.” The lab is open Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m.
