Wolfville Memorial Library Innovation Lab adds media equipment

The Wolfville Memorial Library Innovation Lab has been busy fitting out a media lab with equipment for audio and video recording and post-production.

The Multi Media Makery is a project designed to bring the community together for creative collaboration. The lab will offer audio recording studio, HQ video recording and editing equipment, as well free lessons in audio recording/production, video editing, song writing and much more. Volunteers with skills to share will be matched with people from the local community who are eager to learn.

This project will provide free access to digital media technology that encourages exploration, learning, play, and creativity, to the public that otherwise may be discouraged from participating in these creative processes by the high cost of audio-video technologies.

Funding for this project has been granted by @NS, Community Technology. @NS provides communities with affordable access in close to 200 sites throughout the province. In community technology sites visitors can access the internet, learn basic computer skills, discover new and emerging technologies, access government services and online education, and learn and share with others.

The Wolfville Memorial Library Innovation Lab is inviting all to attend an information session Jan. 23 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a tour of the facility and opportunities to sign up for classes or volunteer.
