Glen Ellyn Public Library makes 3D printers available for Glen Ellyn Public Library cardholders.
Library 3D printers may only be used for lawful purposes in accordance with copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), patent law (Title 35, U.S. Code), and library polices, and with respect for the health and safety of others.
3D printing for cardholders age 8 to 13 is available by appointment, with printing priority given to library programs and events. Cardholders age 14 and older may access 3D printers in the makerspace.
Library staff will review every object file before it is printed, and the library reserves the right to refuse any 3D print request. The nature of 3D printing does not allow complete cardholder privacy, but the library will not share information about a cardholder’s legal activities with third parties.
