The Studio in the Geneva Public Library is a space filled with machines, tools, and resources, including the people you might need to help you make the idea in your mind a physical reality. 

Unsure where to start?  Explore project ideas, take a virtual tour, or see our full list of equipment and when you’re ready to get started, call us to make an appointment!

The Studio is open when the Geneva Library is open. 

It's free to use The Studio’s equipment (though we do charge for materials used), all you need is an ACDL library card, and to fill out the use agreement & waiver for the space the first time you come.

Walk-in appointments may be available but are not guaranteed, so please call ahead to guarantee availability! Appointments are scheduled in two-hour sessions and can be made up to four weeks in advance; however, if you are more than 15 minutes late, we cannot guarantee your appointment. Longer appointments are possible, dependent on need and availability at the staff's discretion.

Ready to book your appointment or have further questions? Just call us at 440-466-4521.
