Marion & Ed Hughes Public Library Guidelines & Polices

Marion & Ed Hughes Public Library card holders in good standing can submit requests to create on the Makerspace equipment. Please note the following guidelines:

1. The Library's Makerspace equipment may only be used for lawful purposes. No one is permitted to create material that is:

• Prohibited by local, state, or federal law.
• Unsafe, harmful, dangerous, or poses an immediate threat to the well-being of others.
• Obscene or otherwise inappropriate for the library environment.
• In violation of another's intellectual property rights. For example, you cannot reproduce material subject to copyright, patent, or trademark protection.

2. The library reserves the right to refuse any Makerspace request.

3. The library cannot guarantee file print, engrave, or cut ability, nor confidentiality designs. Responsibility for cleaning up certain prints is up to the user.

4. You will be called once your item is completed. Items must be picked up by the individual who submitted them. Items not picked up within 7 days after being printed become the property of the library.

5. Only designated library employees will have hands on access to the Makerspace equipment.

6. The projects will be completed on a first come first serve basis.

7. The Makerspace coordinator must approve all user-supplied materials before they are used on Makerspace equipment to prevent damage to equipment, or harm to users within the Library.

8. Commercial use of any Makerspace equipment is prohibited.

9. Library staff will not resize, adjust, or manipulate your files prior to processing. If any changes need to be made to the file, the patron will need to make those changes before the library will proceed.

10. Files must be delivered to the library via flash drive.
