What Can I Do at the Marmalade Library?

Where is it, and when is it open?
The Marmalade Branch of The City Library is at 280 W 500 N, on the west side of Capitol Hill. Call 801-594-8680. It is open Monday to Thursday 10 to 8, Friday and Saturday 10 to 6, and closed Sunday.
There is street parking on 500 North and 300 West, and buses stop right in front of the library on 300 West.
What is the Creative Lab?
The Marmalade Branch has its own Creative Lab, a room full of tools you can use. You can sew an embroidered patch, design a sticker on the Cricut machines, make an object on the 3D printer, and edit photos and videos with Adobe software. The lab keeps its own hours, so check the Creative Lab page before you go.
How does 3D printing work?
You fill out the library's 3D print request form and upload your design. Staff set up the printer, and a print can take a few hours or longer, depending on its size. They cannot fix a broken file for you, so if yours has a problem, they will ask you to send a new one.
Can I take a class without leaving home?
Yes. Through the library, you get free access to Creativebug, thousands of online art and craft classes taught by working artists. It is a good fit for a winter afternoon, at your own pace.
Can I use a room for a meeting?
Yes. You can reserve a public meeting room at any City Library branch, and there is a virtual option for Zoom meetings too. Book it on the library's Marmalade page.
I taught for 18 years, and I still think a good library is the best free classroom in any neighborhood. This one is worth the trip. You can find it anytime on my Capitol Hill page.
