New Tech Lab and 3D Printers Open at the Library Today

Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 14, 2026

The humidity is holding off for now, making it a perfect morning for a walk before the afternoon heat settles in. If you’re out early, you’ll likely see the utility crews finishing up their work near the intersection of Philmont and Street Road.

📰 The Lead

The Lower Southampton Library is stepping into the future this morning with the official opening of its new "Maker Space" tech lab. After months of fundraising and equipment testing, the facility is now available to any resident with a valid library card. The lab features two industrial-grade 3D printers, a laser engraver, and high-end workstations dedicated to video editing and graphic design.

This isn't just for hobbyists; the library plans to host weekly certification classes to help local entrepreneurs and students learn to use the hardware for prototyping and school projects. Staff will be on hand today starting at 10:00 AM to give tours and demonstrate the printing process. It’s a significant shift for the branch, moving from a place that strictly lends books to a hub for local production and technical skill-building.
