Calling All Educators

Teacher Time returns to the Marksbury Family Branch Makerspace July 13–17 and to the Eastside Makerspace July 20–24, with two sessions each day: 11:00am–2:00pm and 3:00pm–6:00pm.

Teacher Time is a free library program offering educators dedicated hours and staff support to use Makerspace equipment for creating classroom resources. 

How It Works

To sign up, choose the registration form below for your preferred Makerspace. List your top three preferred sessions and the equipment you plan to use. You’ll receive a confirmation with your assigned time.

Registration for Marksbury Family Branch Makerspace sessions open on June 22 and for Eastside Makerspace on June 29. To ensure space for everyone, please only register at one location.

Equipment

During Teacher Time, you can use the Makerspace equipment to create classroom resources, including the laminator, large-format printer, button makers, sublimation printer, and Cricut machines. Click each piece of equipment to learn more about its location and what you need to bring. 

Please note that a large-format laminator will be available at both Eastside and Marksbury Family Branch Makerspace for Teacher Time sessions. Materials that are typically charged to your $8 monthly library credit will be free of charge. 

More Ways to Prep

The library is here to give you the extra support you need to thrive in your classroom, whether you’re looking for supplemental curriculum, one-on-one assistance from a librarian, or a longer loan period on materials checked out through the library.

Teacher Cards are designed specially for educators in Fayette County, with a checkout limit of 100 items, an increased reserve limit from 20 to 30 items, and a loan period of 6 weeks on 28-day items. You can apply for a Teacher Card at any of our locations.
