3D Printing
| |
The good news: you love our 3D printer! The bad news: you love our 3D printer so much that we now have a very long print queue and need to put a hold on print requests. Our online 3D print request form will be unavailable until Tuesday, Sept. 2. As planned, charges for printing will then be in effect. Please check our 3D printing web page for more information.

Junction Programs

This year, we are going beyond books and reading and encouraging people to expand their horizons by attending programs. Join us at the Junction - IPPL Junction! - to learn something new, create from scratch, and share your knowledge with your neighbors. IPPL card-holders who participate in designated Junction programs will earn entries into monthly and grand prize drawings, donated by the Friends of IPPL. Congratulations to our June winner, Ray Zielinski of Burr Ridge!
Reminder: there is no limit to the number of computer classes you can take this summer!
At the time this list is published, there are still openings in these programs. Each program is linked to its description and registration form.
