Makerspace Use Policy
Grand Island Public Library’s Makerspace is a collaborative learning environment with a variety
of equipment and resources (hi tech and low tech) where the focus is to create, invent, tinker,
explore, and discover. The Makerspace is one of several learning centers within the Library
fulfilling its lifetime of learning and literacy mission.
The Makerspace may be used for lawful purposes only. Patrons are prohibited from creating
items that are:
Prohibited by federal, state, or local laws or regulations;
Unsafe, harmful, dangerous, or that otherwise pose a threat to the immediate safety of
others including weapons or parts of weapons of any kind;
In violation of intellectual property rights including copyrighted, trademarked, or
patented items or designs;
Deemed inappropriate or offensive in a public setting.
Final determination will be assessed by Library staff as to the suitability of items to be created in
the Makerspace. All other Library policies, rules of conduct, and posted safety instructions will
also apply to the Makerspace.
Patrons may not modify any Makerspace hardware or equipment or download any unauthorized
software on Makerspace or Library computers. Patrons are responsible for having their own
method of external storage (USB Flash Drive, Cloud Storage, etc.) for digital creations. Flash
drives are available for purchase from the Reference Desk.
Library staff are available to provide basic assistance/troubleshooting of Makerspace equipment.
Library Staff cannot provide in-depth training on Makerspace technology or software.
Depending on staff availability and the nature of the request, one-on-one appointments through
the Library’s “Book-A-Librarian” service may be made for training on makerspace equipment as
well as regularly scheduled classes on various pieces of equipment.
Patrons shall follow all posted operation instructions, safety instructions, and verbal safety
requests from Library staff at all times while operating the Makerspace. Certain equipment may
require use of personal protective equipment (e.g. closed-toed shoes, safety goggles, etc.).
Patrons unable or unwilling to follow safety instructions will not be able to use the Makersapce.
Fees are not charged for Library programs. Any non-program uses are subject to Board-approved
fees.
Hours of operation and reservations …

for use. A list of acceptable materials for use with the Cricut Explore Air 2 can be found on the
Cricut website at: https://help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009504773-Which-materials-can-
I-cut-with-my-Cricut-Explore-and-Maker-machine-. Library staff can help determine if materials
supplied by patrons are suitable for use with the machine. The Cricut can cut on materials up to
12” × 24”. For materials supplied by the library, the charge will be:
Plain Paper (White) Letter size (8.5” × 11”) – 10¢ per sheet
Cardstock (12” × 12”) – 30¢ per sheet
Thermal Laminator
The Fellowes Thermal Laminator will laminate materials in 3, 4, or 5 millimeter laminate
thickness (depending on size of item/laminating pouch available). The laminator will only
laminate items approximately as thick as one sheet of cardstock. Bulky items, items with 3-
dimensional or raised components, or of excessive thickness may not be able to fit through the
laminator. Library staff will determine if item is of acceptable size and thickness to laminate.
Laminating charges are as follows:
Bookmark (2.25” × 8.25”), index card (3” × 5”), ID card (3.75” × 2.5”) – 15¢ per pouch

Legal (11” × 14”) – 40¢ per pouch

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 6/17/2019 Page 26 / 29

will be charged at the rate of $2.00 per foot, with a minimum charge of one foot, and will be
charged in one-foot increments.
3D Printer
A Taz Lulzbot 6 3D printer is available for public use. 3D Prints shall be charged at the rate of
10¢ per gram of filament used (as estimated by the Cura 3D Printing interface). Prints must be
paid for before staff will release the print to the 3D printer. The library is not responsible for the
quality of the print and/or any defects in the quality of the print. No refunds will be issued and
jobs will not be reprinted.
A variety of free, online software and resources are available for creation of 3D designs
including Thingiverse, TinkerCAD, and SketchUp Free. 3D designs must be saved in Shape (.stl)
or Object (.obj) file formats to be able to be printed on the 3D Printer.
Only filament that has been purchased by the library is able to be used in the 3D Printer. At this
time, 3D prints are available in one single color/type of filament, multi-colored or multi-filament
prints cannot be accommodated at this time.
As printing may take several hours (based on size and various other factors), patrons will need to
schedule printing with a library staff member. Prints that would extend past closing time or that
would require printing to extend past operating times of the library will not be printed. Staff will
schedule an estimated time that a print will be available for pick up. Patron must leave a reliable
contact method for staff in case patron needs to be contacted regarding the print.
Finished print jobs should be collected within seven days of completion. Print jobs not collected
will become the property of the Library to be used for display or for other purposes.
Laser Cutter/Engraver
Due to risk of fire, the Laser Cutter/Engraver requires constant supervision by both patron and a
staff member or authorized volunteer during operation.
Various materials can be used with the laser cutter/engraver including wood, cork, glass, and
metal. Due to the risk of fire or potential hazardous/noxious fumes created during the laser
process, certain materials are not suitable for use with this equipment. Library staff will
determine suitability of material for use in the laser cutter/engraver.
If patrons supply their own materials for use there is no cost for use. The library will have cork,
wood, and glass products available for purchase for patrons not supplying their own materials.
Sewing/Embroidery Machine & Serger
A Bernina Sewing/Embroidery Machine and Bernina Serger are available for public use. There is
no charge to use these pieces of equipment, however, patrons are required to bring their own

Mini (1” diameter) – 10¢ per sheet
