New Jersey Makers Day—annual celebration of maker culture and innovation—begins tomorrow!

The event, which began in 2015, brings together makers, artists, and inventors of all ages to showcase their creations, share knowledge, and inspire creativity. New Jersey Makers Day has grown rapidly and now includes hundreds of participating organizations, including museums, schools, community centers, and libraries such as the Edison Public Library. 

To celebrate NJ Makers Day, we’ve got a full lineup of great activities planned out for our three library branches. We’ve got events focused on button making, nature art, soldering, making slime, and so many more. A few of these events require registration, but others are open entry, so stop in and join the fun!

Check out our full schedule below, and happy making!
