If you have creative teens in your family you should introduce them to the Idea Box at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library, where young adults will find all the equipment they need to make just about whatever they can dream up. Idea Box is a unique place for talented young minds to get together and complete projects. The maker-space has a variety of essential tools including 3D printers, vinyl and laser cutters, sewing and knitting machines and various other tools needed to produce inspiring creations. You can also use a variety of tablets and computers which may not be available at home or at school. Younger children can attend Story Time and several other educational sessions at the library.
