Whatever you can dream up, you can make at your library!

Make. Create. Design. All at your library.

Maker Labs

Visit one of our five Maker Labs to get started with your next invention. Maker Labs are open during regular library hours, and staff are available on-site to help you learn the equipment, software, and tools that you need to make, create, and design.

Your library provides the equipment needed to unlock your creativity, from 3D printing, vinyl cutting, and laser engraving to sewing and embroidery!

Show off your designs! Post your creations on social media, tag @pioneerlibrarysystem, and invite your friends to join the fun!

Mobile Maker Lab

Let us bring the Making to you! Our Mobile Maker Lab is a full-service STEAM experience on wheels that makes the rounds to libraries, community events, and spaces across central Oklahoma.

This amazing workshop on wheels features the latest Maker technology and connects you to the library's digital and print resources.

This state-of-the-art mobile technology center is complete with broadband internet access, connecting to the internet from virtually any location. The vehicle generates its own power, so all the onboard technologies and equipment operate in even the most remote locations.

A drop-down stage with stairs and a wheelchair lift offer access to the equipment housed inside as well as enabling transport of equipment to inside locations. A fully-automated retractable awning provides shade during the day and a complete tripod lighting system provides illumination when the sun goes down. The PLS Mobile Maker Lab is ready for action, day or night.

   

Maker Services

All locations offer opportunities to make, create, and design through scheduled events and STEAM experience centers throughout the year. Stop by any of our 11 open locations to interact with maker services year-round!
