Borrowing From Makerspace
How To Borrow Items From Makerspace
Much like how you would check out a book, Makerspace has lots of technology, tools and items to check out to use outside of the space. Come to Makerspace with your TRU ID card and speak to a staff member about which item(s) you would like to check out. Items can be lent out for 3 days at a time. If the item can’t be returned directly to Makerspace, the item can be returned to another staffed library desk, such as the research help desk on the 3rd floor in House of Learning.
Technology Available
Makerspace has technology to check out using your TID card to take your making and creativity out of Makerspace.

Something need fixing or have a DIY project but no tools? Makerspace now has tools you can check out using your TID card!
