As the printed word gives way to digital distribution , library must change in both form and procedure in society to remain relevant in the Internet age . One New York Good Book repository has taken the lead in this effort by installing the country ’s first “ maker ’s quad ” within a public library .
The try is being spearheaded by Lauren Smedley of the Fayetteville Free Library . The Fayetteville facility , which is actually housed in an old furniture factory , is build a fabrication research laboratory . The Fab Lab , as it ’s called , will provide loose public accession to the machines and resourcefulness need for plate - scale manufacturing .
The Lab presently only include a Makerbot 3D printer , but Lindley trust to soon acquire a CNC Router and laser cutter as well . Once complete , the lab is bear to host a multifariousness of community events , including year for 3D Printing , 3D aim package , reckoner programing , andGeek Girl Camps .
It ’s for sure bracing see New York ’s public library being usedfor something other than porn hubs . And , while 3D lying is slowly emerging from the home - brew community of interests into the mainstream , they ’re still wicked expensive . Any opportunity to expose the public to this technology — even just on loan — will only speed its acceptation . [ KQEDviaBoingBoing – Image viaFerenc Szelepcsenyi / Shutterstock ]
