Maker Spaces at the Library
At Richmond Hill Public Library, we’re driven to help you create and connect in an environment that supports your big ideas and wildest dreams. Our Maker Spaces support learning in science, technology, engineering, art, and more through a host of Library services to help you build and design to your heart’s content.
Changes are coming to our Maker Space services!
Over the past few months, we've been collecting feedback from our community and our team on our Maker Space services at our branches. As a result, we'll be pausing our Maker Space services at Richmond Green and Oak Ridges branches over the summer as we update our spaces and how they operate. We thank you for your patience as we improve our services to support you better. Keep an eye out for new services to be revealed in September as we welcome you back to make, create and DIY!
