A library card in Bentonville checks out more than books. At the downtown branch on South Main, the same card opens a working fabrication shop: Glowforge laser cutters, 3D printers, sergers, embroidery machines, and a full digital lab, all free to any cardholder. The one thing between you and the machines is Makerspace 101, a short required orientation with a signed waiver — the gate is training, not money or membership. The teaching runs on the same lending terms: the library holds maker-entrepreneur workshops and keeps an open invitation for local experts to lead sessions of their own.
