The Maker's Nest OPENS on April 2!

We are thrilled to announce that our new, state of the art Makerspace, The Maker's Nest, will open on April 2!

We currently have three sessions of open Maker Hours that staff will be available in order to supervise, however, please note that open Maker hours can be cancelled at any time due to staffing availability.

Currently the hours are:
Tuesdays 2pm-4p m
Thursdays 6pm-8pm
Fridays 10am-12pm

A limited number of appointments may be taken outside of these hours. There will be a limit per day on how many appointments outside of open Maker Hours that we accept.

To make an appointment, please email themakersnest@middlesexlibrarynj.org
Emailing does NOT guarantee you an appointment; you MUST receive a confirmation email from staff.

Check back often, as we plan to add more hours! Also, if you'd like to volunteer to help us staff The Maker's Nest, we would love to have you!

Please view our Makerspace policy here, as using The Maker's Nest requires you to adhere to this policy as well as sign a waiver.

We look forward to all of our problem solvers, inventors, and creators to come visit The Maker's Nest - ALL ages are welcome!
