Pearland library o ers free recording studio for residents
Creatives, podcasters and content producers now have a free new space to create at the West Pearland Library. The backstory Tucked in the corner of the library’s second oor, the makerspace is home to recording and editing tools such as green screens, cameras, microphones, editing software, an iPad, an iMac and a Dell computer with a true color monitor, which is optimal for photo editing, branch librar- ian Jessica Williams said. The makerspace has a small shelf of books to help guide people to use the equipment to record and edit content. All of the equipment was funded by the Friends of Pearland Westside Library, a nonpro t that began in 2008 and supports the Brazoria County Library system.
Quote of note “We’re really lucky and grateful that the Friends were able to fund the space for us,” Williams said. “All of the equipment that we have in that space is courtesy of our Friends group. So rst and foremost, kudos and thanks to them.” One more thing The library’s makerspace is part of a larger network of makerspaces spread out across the Brazoria County Library system’s 12 branches. For example, at its sister library, Pearland Library, the makerspace o ers embroidery and quilting materials. The makerspace is free to use with a Brazoria County library card. Library sta asks that people interested in using the equipment book online at least four days in advance.
