hub for free access to information and technology, social and civic engagement, and support of personal enrichment, well being, and lifelong learning. In support of this mission, the Library provides a community workspace where people with common interests can socialize and collaborate. This workspace is commonly known as a Makerspace, <strong>a place for crafting, tinkering, and experimentation with technologies like 3D printing, sewing machines, and recording&nbsp;<\/strong><b>equipment<\/b>, all of which are available at the East Forest Park Branch. The library hopes to cultivate a network of creative community makers that are interested in tinkering for professional, educational, or personal reasons. The Makerspace is a place to create, invent, and learn.<\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/about\/library-policies\/makerspace-policy\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-soft\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#008d7f;border-color:#007166;border-radius:3px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#ffffff;padding:7px 20px;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;border-color:#4db0a6;border-radius:3px;text-shadow:0px 0px 0px #000000\"><i class=\"sui sui-cog\" style=\"font-size:16px;color:ffffff\"><\/i> Click Here to View Our Makerspace Policy<\/span><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A community-operated workspace where people with common interests can meet, socialize and collaborate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":9906,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18497","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18497"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37434,"href":"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18497\/revisions\/37434"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
