Need to produce a high-quality audio or video project, but don't have the technology or equipment? The Library's second-floor Digital Media Lab, a soundproofed space available to high school and adult patrons, is equipped with a range of tools to help make your project a reality.
There are high-quality stereo speakers and microphones, a dual-input external audio card, headphones, guitar cables, a four-channel mixer and a MIDI keyboard.

3D Printing
What better way to personalize a gift or a piece of jewelry than to design it yourself? Projects created with a Computer Assisted Design software program can be brought to fruition with the Library's 3D printer.
The printer takes designs and builds layer upon layer of plastic filament to make 3D objects. You can also make objects that you can't easily find elsewhere. A free, browser-based 3D modeling program called TinkerCAD software is used at the Library. GEPL staff teaches how to use this software in our drop-in 3D Printing Open Labs.
