We have Innovation Labs in our libraries in Annapolis Royal, Kingston and Wolfville.  As well, we have a Mobile Innovation Lab that stays in one of our other libraries for a few months at a time. To know where the Mobile Innovation Lab is located, check out our Events Calendar.

Each of these labs is a little different in what they offer.  They’ve been developed with community influences. Each of them has a core set of equipment consisting of:

  • Ultimaker3 – 3D Printer (demo)
  • Cricut Maker (cutter)  (demo)
  • Cricut Heat Press 2 (demo)
  • Serger – Brother 3534D (demo) 
  • Sewing Machine(s) – Janome Heavy Duty (demo)

Everyone is welcome to come in and use these resources anytime they are open and supervised.

You can also get an orientation of the equipment and then have even more access (for details see the location nearest you).

Use of the equipment and labs is FREE. The only charge is for consumables, the 3D filament used in the 3D printers (only ours can be used) and if you use our Cricut supplies (you are welcome to bring your own for this machine).
