Livingston Library's Maker Day 2023
Livingston Library
March 25, 2023
11am - 2pm

NJ Makers Day is a celebration of maker culture across New Jersey. This all-ages event connects individuals with libraries, schools, businesses, and independent makerspaces that support making, tinkering, crafting, manufacturing, and STEM-based learning.

This year, we have invited Makers from Livingston and surrounding towns to exhibit at the library. Learn all about their amazing work, pick up take-home craft kits, make your own zine, and more!

See you at Maker Day!
