Library’s 3D Printer Visits The CityArts Factory

Leave a Comment / Events / By

The MakerBot Replicator 2 3D Printer recently made a guest appearance at Toy Burst 2013 at Redefine Gallery at The City Arts Factory in downtown Orlando.  The printer was a big hit!  It was our first experience in introducing the 3D printer to artists and we enjoyed hearing their ideas about using 3D design and printing in their work.  As you can imagine, our 3D Design and Printing classes continue to be very popular here at the Orlando Public Library.  If you would like to see what all the fuss is about, come on in and take a class.   On Saturday, August 3, we have 3D Design and Printing Level 1 at 10 am and the Level 2 class will follow at 11.30am.

So come visit us at the Orlando Public Library!  We look forward to seeing you in class!

What’s Going on Behind the Wall?

Leave a Comment / Events, Updates / By

In this past week, staff have seen the starting changes “behind the wall” on the second floor.  The carpet was removed to prep the area for the new Center. Can you guess which floor the carpet was repurposed?

In the meanwhile we continue to build new and exciting curriculum. Most recently Adobe InDesign was introduced for those interested in Graphic Design. We are offering Adobe  InDesign Fundamentals classes on Monday, July 8 at 5pm and Thursday, July 18 at 10am.  Summer fun for kids and teens continues in July with our Camp Savvy and TechKrew Technology classes.

So join us.  It’s an exciting time to be at the Orlando Public Library!

This past Saturday morning, visitors to the Orlando Public Library’s second floor Technology and Education Center were surprised to find evidence of construction that had happened overnight.  A new temporary wall has been installed in preparation for further construction on the second floor. The design stage is now almost complete and library staff members are looking forward to watching The Dorothy Lumley Melrose Center beginning to come to life. To mark the beginning of construction, we will have a First Nail Ceremony on Wednesday, June 12 at 10:30 am.  Join us for this event at the Orlando Public Library.
