FabLib

We bring the maker movement to your library

The evolution of libraries


In the digital age, libraries are evolving into dynamic community hubs that offer far more than just books and quiet study spaces. They have become centers for learning, collaboration, and innovation.

One significant evolution in this regard is the emergence of makerspaces within libraries. A makerspace is a place where people of all ages can gather to create, invent, and learn using a variety of tools and technologies.

Meet FabLib!


Although many librarians, library visitors and local authorities are convinced of the added value of a makerspace, the practical implementation proves to be a barrier that is often difficult to overcome.

Met FabLib – short for fabrication library- we want to lower this threshold. We do this by offering an all-in-one package, consisting of:

  • all kinds of digital fabrication devices such as a laser cutter, vinyl cutter, 3D printer, microbit and electronics
  • an online learning platform with excellent learning materials, videos, making activities, etc.
  • qualitative training programs
  • online support, and maintenance of your devices.
