(Batesville, IN) – The Batesville Memorial Public Library (BMPL) will take the wraps off its new Arts and Innovation Hub at a ribbon cutting and open house on June 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“All are invited…for the opening of this new facility, which is one of a kind for the Southeastern Indiana region,” said BMPL Director Kim Porter.
The new facility offers The Innovation Studio makerspace that will include 3-D printers, a laser engraver, a Cricut, a heat press, sewing machines and much more.
The Create Studio recording lab will be available for anyone who wants to produce recordings, podcasts, or create small photography.
If you are looking for a place to collaborate, hold a meeting, or study, the Hub has 5 rooms to choose from, plus an Event Room that can host up to 200 people.
Not only does this new facility offer indoor spaces for public use, but also presents opportunities for outdoor uses.
The Event Lawn provides outdoor seating on a raised lawn, as well as gathering places throughout the campus.
“This state of the art facility was made possible through the generosity of private donors, state initiatives, and local grants. We are truly grateful for all the time, talent, and generosity that our community has given to make this addition to the library possible,” Porter said.
The BMPL Arts and Innovation Hub will remain open until 4 p.m. on June 3 for anyone who wants to stop by, stroll through, and explore this addition to Batesville.
