Expectations for makers  

Please help us keep the Library Makerspace tidy and operational! Please ... no food or drink!

Tidy up! - Users will leave the Makerspace as clean, or cleaner, than they found it. All items should be returned to their proper storage locations, and the workspace should be free of debris. 

Be timely! - Users are responsible for wrapping up their projects in a timely fashion. Please plan accordingly! 

Be helpful! - We need your help maintaining the Makerspace. Users will inform staff if supplies are running low, or if any equipment is in need of repair.
