Not the commenter but my library is similar. I live in a suburb of Indianapolis that is quite well off for the area, though very low cost of living in comparison to many metro areas across the country. We also have a city funded makerspace more aimed at trades that offers home improvement seminars, a woodshop, etc.
- seltzered_ 3y agoIt's probably worth noting the libraries I've seen that have a nice makerlab (to where the the tools are maintained and they facilitate trainings) usually have at least a couple staff librarians that are fairly enthusiastic about making things and using the tools themselves too. That's my limited anecdotal experience, noticing there's also been libraries that might've initially offered 3d printing then stopped (possibly due to abuse, maintenance burden, staff changes, etc.)
