Maker_Space

Our Maker_Spaces are home to an extensive range of creative technology and are free to use for community groups, creatives, businesses, and individuals.

All you need to access the technology in one of our Maker_Spaces is a Culture Perth and Kinross library card. Not a library member? It’s easy to become one and you will find all the information you need on the Join the Library page on our website.

After your induction, you can book time in any of the Maker_Spaces online here.

For more information, to use a Maker_Space or to book an induction (recommended for all new users) drop in and see us at one of our venues or call:

Please see the Your Local Library page on our website for individual library opening times.
