At Gwinnett County Public Library, we believe that creativity knows no bounds. Our Learning Labs are community makerspaces located at many of our branches: Centerville, Duluth, Five Forks, Hamilton Mill, Lawrenceville Hooper-Renwick, Lilburn, Norcross, Peachtree Corners, Snellville, and Suwanee branches. Our facilities are designed to empower individuals: from aspiring creators to seasoned professionals, to bring their ideas to life.

We teach a variety of free hands-on workshops and events designed to build your skills and enhance your creativity. We teach free classes on how to get started using a 3D printer and even Tinkercad, a 3D modeling program. We also teach free classes on how to sew! Classes include: Sewing Machine Basics, Sewing Pattern Basics, Make a Tote Bag, Make a Soup Bowl Hot Pad, and more!

In the Learning Labs, you can create and share music, podcasts, video, and photography content with our collection of audiovisual equipment. You can design digital and printable graphics for your business with our Wacom digital drawing tablets and the full Adobe Creative Suite. Make your cosplay dreams and product ideas a reality with our 3D printers, sewing machines, CNC machines, and laser cutters. Your imagination is the architect in the Learning Labs.
