Adjoining the Collaborative Zone is 'The Hive' which is the library's new makerpace. This is another exciting addition to the services offered by the library. There is an amazing sewing machine that can be programmed from an ipad and produces highly professional sewing and embroidery. There is also a 3D printer, 3D digitiser, a big set of 'Little Bits', a green screen and all sorts of other exciting bits and pieces.

Libraries are often at the forefront of technological developments and they provide people with access to technology that they may not otherwise be able to use. Where else but a library can people go to have free use of a computer, the internet, eBooks, eJournals, eMagazines...? By creating makerspaces, libraries are again providing patrons with this service. Many libraries around the world are beginning to offer makerspaces where people can try 3D printing and use other equipment that they would not be able to use anywhere else. We're very proud of Tanglin's new makerspace and there's a buzz of excitement as The Hive moves towards it's official launch later this term. The Collaborative Team are working hard to get ready for the launch and to provide a great new service to our community.
