Advisory board reviews makerspace policy changes; safety rules reiterated
Summary
Board discussed updates to makerspace policy — listing equipment, clarifying locations and adding addresses — and staff reiterated the longstanding prohibition on using makerspace resources for illegal activity or weapons.
Staff member (Speaker 1) reviewed a multi-page makerspace policy that lists equipment (die-cut machine, sewing machines, button makers, 3D printers, laser engraver, podcasting booth) and said addresses will be added so users know which equipment is available at the main library and which is at Pages & Play.
Committee member (Speaker 3) asked whether the policy needed express language about illegal use or making weapons; Staff member (Speaker 1) pointed to a policy bullet saying the space "may be used only for lawful purposes" and that the policy prohibits creating illegal items. Committee member (Speaker 3) said, "Or making them weapons." Staff confirmed the prohibition was in the policy.
