Frequently asked questions

1. Can we have food or drink in the CoGLAB (MakerSpace)?
       No food or drink is allowed in the MakerSpace.
2. Can I use my own Cricut design space login?
       Please note that customers cannot use their own Cricut login and must use the City's. If customers wish to make designs, they must do so using the CoGLAB Cricut tablet, not a personal login. Please consider this when planning your project.
3. Do I need to book the badge maker?
       The badge maker can be used anytime during library hours if available. Please ask the library staff. For designing your badges, badge sizes available are 25mm and 58mm. Customers will be provided with 5 badges free of charge or can bring their own.
4. Do you provide any materials?
       Customers must bring their own consumables for the sewing and Cricut machines
5. CoGLAB is closed to the public on Wednesdays to allow the 3D Printer process to take place safely.
