The Creation Station will serve as an idea lab and creation space for individuals to explore their creativity and cultivate their imaginations in interactive, hands-on ways. Natrona County Library staff will provide instruction in the space to support learning, inspire creativity, and nurture opportunities for the next entrepreneur, inventor, or artist to emerge. They will also use the space to enhance and expand the library’s existing programs for all ages.
Featuring worktables and cutting-edge equipment and software such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Carvey 3D Carving machine, Cricut Maker, laminator, sewing machine, serger, and embroidery machine, the Library’s Creation Station will be a community makerspace, where people with shared ideas and interests can work together on a variety of projects. Kids also will have access to STEAM-related toys and equipment like a Q-Ba Maze, Cubelets, Snap Circuits, Think and Learn Code-a-Pillar, and LEGOs.
The Creation Station was made possible with funding from the Natrona County Library Foundation, Friends of the Natrona County Library, Kelley Foundation, Wyoming Community Foundation’s McMurry Library Endowment, Ruth R.
