Description:

For the past several years, libraries have begun to embrace 3D printers and Makerspaces. Now more than ever, such equipment is becoming more affordable as well. Should your library implement these technologies? We'll help you decide.

Participants will:

• Learn what 3D printing is and explore various use cases for your library
• Discuss the necessary resources needed to implement a 3D printing program, including staff, time, and cost
• Discuss ways to promote 3D printing and its usefulness to your audience
