Thanks to The Universe, word is out on how many things you can do in the Makerspace.

“(As) humans, we are born to create,” George Wait, a Brigham Young University student studying product design, said. “The maker space exists to help people nurture creativity (and) to help them create and to grow."

Time flies here!... Maybe a little bit too much? 💀

Our underground 2nd and 1st floors are great for patrons looking for low-distraction study environments. We have open collaborative and quiet study zones, as well as reserve-able private study rooms.

And! If you don't understand the reference in this comic, ask our Physics and Astronomy librarians at our 2nd floor Science and Engineering help desk about time dilation! Or check out a copy of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014) to trade our local mountains for some waves 😉

Part 2! How do our designers keep track of it all?? 😵‍💫
There's art on every floor, many stairwells, and surprises to be found around every corner here, so take some time to experience it next time you're around! For better or for worse, now you can judge our designers handiwork in crafting a fun experience for you, too. How'd they do?

Even if we're not your local library, cool stuff like this is bound to be happening at yours! Let us know about it in the comments.

Who knew?? Exhibits here at the library are far more complicated than you might think...! Learn all about it here in part one of our behind-the-scenes tour in exhibit design, and have a great Monday.

Did any of the spots on the tour so far look familiar? 👀
