You know, you might have to start going downtown to the LA Central Library more often?

This newly minted Octavia Lab, free to use with reservation, contains almost every creative tool you can imagine from Adobe Creative Cloud and ProTools to a 3D Printer and a CNC Machine to a sewing machine and a green screen to a lab where you can digitize any old form of media.

Whether you’re a sketch group, podcaster, installation artist with a sense of humor, this might be the thing for you if you don’t have access to any of this equipment, much less all of this equipment in one place.

For our readers that are big dreamers that have really ambitious visions, this might be a good place to start to actualize said vision. Do note that hours are limited and you must make a reservation to use the Octavia Lab (named after renowned sci fi author Octavia Butler).

Also, there will be a mobile version of this that will be making the rounds at other library branches in LA.
