Makerspace at Leonardtown Library

The Makerspace at Leonardtown Library is a flexible, participatory learning environment where Makers can utilize a variety of hands-on learning opportunities, gain access to technology to encourage entrepreneurship, and become more creative and empowered with new skills. St. Mary’s County Library wants Makers of all sorts to be able to share the space and equipment with one another!

The Makerspace at Leonardtown Library is open:

  • Mondays, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
  • Tuesdays, 2 – 5 p.m.
  • Wednesdays, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
  • Thursdays, 5 – 7:30 p.m.
  • Fridays, 1 – 4 p.m.
  • Saturdays, 1 – 4 p.m.

Plans for a Makerspace at Lexington Park Library!

During our recent strategic planning process, we discovered that there is an unmet need in Lexington Park for STEAM instruction, literacy activities for children, more emphasis on fine motor skills, and opportunities for families and children of all ages to be able to work together on creative projects. We need the space and furniture in the Library for all this STEAM learning to happen! We plan to build a glass room within the Library with suitable tool storage and adaptable furniture to accommodate all ages, from pre-K to adult. Learn more and donate today!

Use of the Makerspace

Makers must observe all the Library’s policies in the Makerspace. Additionally, by entering the Makerspace, Makers agree to the additional guidelines and responsibilities listed in the Makerspace Policy.
