Scotch Plains Public Library Announces NJ Makers Day Programming

The Scotch Plains Public Library staff is excited to announce a weekend of innovative STEM programming in honor of the third annual NJ Makers Day. These fun projects are designed for makers of all ages and abilities.

On Friday, March 24, ScotLib offers two maker programs, one for adults and another for children. At 10 am, local artist Eva Sienkiewicz will show adults how to make their very own memory wire bracelets. All materials will be supplied by the library.

Later on Friday at 3:30 pm, the Children’s department will unveil their new 3Doodler Start pens. During this interactive workshop, children ages 8-12 can learn how to use the pens to create fun designs.

Online registration for both of these events is required and limited to Scotch Plains cardholders only. Registration for these events will open on March 13. (To register, click here.)

The fun continues on Saturday, March 25. The library will host a variety of activities including Family Maker Creations at 9:30 am and 1:30 pm, Felt Kitties (ages 16 to adult) at 11 am, Memory Wire Bracelets (ages 12 & up) at 1 pm, and Brushbot Races (ages 6 & up) at 3 pm.
