Open Shop

Drop into Gage Park on Tuesday afternoon, November 17, from 4 to 6 PM for Open Shop, a low-commitment way to try the library's maker equipment. Staff can give a quick software overview, help troubleshoot a project, or let you experiment with an electronic cutter, 3D printer, sewing machine, and hot glue guns. No registration required — just show up with your own materials and curiosity. Accessibility accommodations are available with 14 business days' notice by calling (312) 747-8184 or emailing access@chipublib.org.
