Events › Open Studio

During Open Studio, you can tinker, create, and experiment using maker tools to bring your ideas to life. Whether you’re building something new or improving a project in progress, Open Studio is all about hands-on creativity and fun. The Innovation Station is a creative DIY space that provides tools for makers like YOU to work on projects. It's simple, you bring the ideas and supplies, and we supply the space and technology. Imagine, design, and create with us!

Makers must be 12 or older to use the Innovation Station independently. Children 11 and under, as well as adults who require additional support, must be accompanied and actively supervised at all times by a guardian or caregiver 18 years or older.

The Innovation Station is located on the 3rd floor of the Main branch. For more information, please visit epl.org or call 847-448-8625. To request an accommodation for a program, service, or activity, please call 847-866-2919 to make an ADA service request or fill out a Request form online.
