To use the Digital Media Lab room inside of The Studio, you must go through orientation in-person or online. You must be a New Lenox Library card holder, or belong to a library that is a PrairieCat member. If you're not sure of your library's consortium membership, ask your home library.
Only adult New Lenox Library card holders (16+) who have gone through this orientation can check out items from the Tech2Go DML collection.
This orientation will be updated to showcase the new space later this year. You will not have to retake the orientation.
