Beginning in November, the Makerspace will adopt new hours.

  • Monday-Wednesday 12-6pm
  • Closed Thursday
  • Friday 11-5pm
  • Saturday 10am-1pm (Same Show & Tell rules apply in that the machines aren't able to be used during the activity)
  •  Sunday: Closed

The Lab at the Indian Creek Library offers a space for the community to explore, create, invent, build, and collaborate with others. Our staff are available during open hours to maintain equipment and ensure a safe environment. While we offer guidance, this is your opportunity to explore and acquire new skills. We encourage all customers to plan multiple visits to learn, take notes, and turn your projects into reality.

To set realistic expectations, some machines may require several visits to produce a finished item, with multiple iterations necessary to achieve your desired outcome. This is a space that it is okay to make mistakes and learn from them.

 To access the equipment, you simply need a reservation and an Olathe or Johnson County library card in good standing. On weekends, join us for "Show and Tell Saturday", featuring a new all-ages activity each week to enhance your maker skills. Please note that equipment cannot be reserved or used during our Show and Tell Saturdays, as the focus is on our guests and the activity.
