The document discusses Toronto Public Library's makerspaces which provide resources for digital skills development including equipment like 3D printers, laptops, and software. The makerspaces allow patrons to learn, create, and collaborate on projects in areas such as audio/music, coding, graphic design, and video editing. Examples of past programs include classes, summer camps for kids, monthly meetups, and an Innovator in Residence program. The goal is to provide accessible digital skills resources and bridge the digital divide in the community.
