The Artisan Makers Library is a special library located in Southern California.
A space for DIY enthusiasts, crafters, makers, and hobbyists of all kinds to explore, learn, and create their prospective arts and projects in an inclusive, equitable, and supportive space. We provide classes from experts, have a comprehensive print and digital collection on applied and decorative arts & crafts, as well as group meetings for various hobbies. We have various machines, tools, and prepared kits available for patrons to borrow from the library. Patrons are encouraged to bring their craft tools as well since there are a limited amount of library resources that are lent out on a first-come, first-serve basis.
