Studio Camera
The Columbia Public Library has opened a new technology space in the library called the Studio. In addition to the Training Center on the second floor, the Studio is a new public space on the first floor, just past the Friends meeting room. The Studio is a new creative digital lab for computer classes and special programs for all ages. It is a place that offers technology to help you explore your creativity and assist those working on their own creative projects. This new space will evolve and adapt to patron needs throughout the year, so be sure to like the library’s Facebook page for updates and photographs!

Drop in for the Studio Open House this Saturday, March, 14, 2015, from 10 am to 1 pm. Take a tour and learn more about how the library can help you cultivate skills for your latest project. Hands-on activities and demonstrations will be featured for teens and adults. Kids are welcome, too! Refreshments provided.

Other events in the Studio will include some classes transferred from the Training Center, as well as new programs, some of which are highlighted below:
