Nicole P.
Nicole P. is Head of Youth Services at the Medford Public Library. She teaches the cutting machine badging classes and runs our Teen Maker Nights and many, many crafty teen events. She loves staring at craft supplies until an idea comes to mind, so if you've got arts and craft block, she's who to call! If you visited the library before construction, she is probably the reason you still have glitter on you.

Kate C.
Kate C. teaches laser cutting and 3D printing. When something breaks, it's hard to get them to back down from trying to fix it. Ask them about knitting and spinning - you can usually find them wearing something handmade and they spend most of their free time thinking about wool.

She runs lots of maker and craft events for both teens and kids, and loves finding ways to get creative with all kinds of craft supplies and tools, including the cutting machine and laser cutter.
