Irvington Library Has 3D Printers, Sewing Machines, Die Cutter

FREMONT, CA — If you need a place to develop a skill, the Irvington Branch of the public library is remaking itself and expanding hours of operation. It is now open 1 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

"Libraries are more than places to borrow books or study," communications manager Alicia Reyes told Patch in an email. "They are creative and engaging spaces where people can collaborate and develop their skills and passions.

"The Irvington Library is expanding on this idea as it transitions away from the traditional library model to become a Makerspace with a library inside. The Makerspace has 3D printers, sewing machines, a die cutter, a robotics field, and more to use inside the space.

"Besides a traditional children’s book collection, the Library includes Tool Lending for projects that can be completed at home. Visit the Irvington Library to learn more about what it has to offer."

The Irvington Library is located at 41825 Greenpark Drive in Fremont.
