Did you know that Main Library’s makerspace offers free access to a laser engraver? Join us for a demo class to learn more about it.

Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.643.9145.

With a laser engraver, you can etch your logo or design into various materials. You can use the TechZone computers to make the design yourself or find something online. Our laser engraver can etch or cut complex designs, text, pictures, or patterns. The trainer will demonstrate an introduction to CorelDraw, how to use our engraver, and how you can create personalized materials.  

Please cancel if you cannot attend the class after registration. You can do so online via the email confirmation received at the time of registration or by calling the Electronic Services Division at 330.643.9145.
