Youth Services News [Nmlibs] 3 D printing

Wed Jul 19 09:50:20 MDT 2023

Hi,

This is not anything that has even crossed my mind, but now I'm super
intrigued!  Especially in the experience Carrizozo's and Anton Chico's plan
for class instruction, which models of printers you chose and why, how your
experience has been after using them for awhile.  Ft. Sumner is a very
senior driven community, especially in the case of library patrons.  Like
most libraries we have challenges getting kids in as they get older,
especially high schoolers.  This might be a new avenue.  I have way more
questions than answers.  Is someone doing a session on this topic at NMLA??

Thanks for your input so far, I applaud your efforts!
