News Updates for November 23-29, 2023

The Library will be closed Thursday, November 23rd and Friday, the 24th for Thanksgiving.

3D Printer Spotlight

One of our patrons loves role playing adventure games in the style of Dungeons and Dragons. They sent in a design for our 3D printer using white filament to manufacture their own lava monster. After a base layer of brown paint, they added more details, creating a truly diabolical foe for their characters to battle on game night!

Other patrons have printed a very realistic spider as a specimen for their terrarium and token pieces for a customized chess set. Send your designs to outreach@tolonolibrary.org. We love seeing what everyone is making. Keep showing us your creativity!
