Residents 14+ can use their Yorktown library card to reserve the makerspace's VEVOR Button Maker Machine for up to two times per week. Patrons will need to bring their own designs and supplies to make their buttons; the machine makes 2.25 inch buttons.
For clarification or assistance on our Cricut machines, feel free to reach out via email to reference@yorktownlibrary.org.
How to Sign Up
Time slots for this machine will be available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1pm-4pm: view and book available time slots at this link.
A patron can book a time slot one month into the future and can book up to two times per week. Upon the first use of the Makerspace, patrons will need to fill out a Makerspace User Agreement agreeing to the Makerspace Terms of Use upon entering the makerspace; this will be a google form that only needs to be filled out once and will be kept on file.
Before you come to an Open Maker visit be sure to:
- Know what materials you need to bring for your project
- When you arrive for your reservation, check in at the reference desk: The person who makes the reservation must be present at the time of the reservation
- Patrons arriving more than 15 minutes late for their reservation may lose their reservation(s) for the day. Repeated failures to show up for reservations (without canceling) will result in Open Makerspace privileges being temporarily revoked.
- Makerspace staff is only available to help with set-up and to answer basic questions
