The Medford Public Library is giving patrons the training they need to “check out” the library’s Maker Space just like the study rooms in the building. With today’s session on sewing machines, you can earn a “badge” and gain more exclusive access to the Maker Space and its contents. Once courses are complete, your library card will note you have more access to the Maker Space so you can “borrow” the room when it is available. For ages 16 and over. Register through the library’s online calendar. If you already have a skill and would like to test out of a course, email Sam Sednek, assistant library director, at ssednek@minlib.net.
