Ajax Public Library's Makerspace is designed to make technology and digital literacy accessible and affordable. Our pricing is designed to cover the cost of consumables and tools needed to operate the equipment. Be mindful that creative work requires trial and error. 

All equipment in the Makerspace is free to use, but some will require customers bring their own materials. Please speak with a staff member about the materials that will work with the equipment needed for your project.
