Richmond Public Library’s Innovation Lab is primarily self-service. Library staff will make every effort to provide you with orientation and training before you use our Lab, as well as support while you are using them. We encourage patrons to utilize the resources available from specific manufacturers and reputable educational websites, as well as library resources such as Universal Class.
We strongly recommend contacting us before visiting the library to ensure we can fulfill your requests and have equipment or materials ready for your visit.
