Just a reminder that North Carolina libraries are hosting many creative programs and events! Over the summer, Durham County Library held its “This Week in the Lab: Makedo Kit” program, where attendees explored cardboard construction using Makedo kits. Participants engineered new creations with reusable materials and tools that were safe for all ages.

This event is one of many offered by Durham County Library’s Innovation Lab, part of the Maker + STEAM Services department, which provides technological and artistic resources that inspire creative thinking, exploration, innovation, and problem-solving.

A big shout-out to Caroline Flory (Maker + STEAM Services Manager), Kyle Lampart (Maker + STEAM Services), and all the participants who helped bring this event to life! Check it out this interview!
