MESA PUBLIC LIBRARY THINKspot

DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THINKspot?

Last February, Dobson Ranch Library celebrated its expansion and renovation. Thanks to Mesa voters who approved the Parks and Culture Bonds in 2018, this construction project added a THINKspot makerspace and improved and updated the façade of the building. Over the past year, THINKspot at Dobson Ranch has had 353 equipment reservations and has hosted 93 programs with a total of 710 attendees. It’s been a joy to see our patrons using the space!

THINKspot, a makerspace at all three Mesa Public Library locations, is a place where the community can collaborate, innovate, explore, and learn. It offers training and access to high-tech equipment and innovative classes and programs. Specific equipment may vary by location, but each THINKspot offers a 3D printer, laser cutter, sewing machine, vinyl cutter, studio space, and an iMac with professional video and audio editing software.

To use THINKspot equipment, you must complete training, sign a liability waiver, and agree to follow the guidelines.
