About

Have an urge to create something? Whether it's a podcast, song, movie, flyer, 3D print, or something else, we have you covered!

Level Up is an all-ages digital creativity center for video and music production, graphic and web design, memory preservation, 3D printing, and coding and game creation. It is located on the first floor of the Downtown Library and features a video production studio with a green screen, two audio production studios, and four digital creativity workstations with Adobe Creative Cloud.

 

To reserve the studios or borrow equipment in Level Up, registered patrons must bring their physical library card or a valid ID.

Reserving Computers

You can log in to any Digital Creativity Workstation at Level Up. When all workstations are in use, you may reserve the next available one. Level Up workstations are for patrons working on projects that require the unique software installed on our iMacs. We will ask any patrons that are consuming media in other ways (i.e., surfing the internet, playing games, and watching videos) to use other computers available in the Library.
