Get Involved

GoLM is entirely volunteer-run, and everything we do, from getting patrons free 3D-printed devices to mapping makerspaces across the state, depends on people showing up to help. Below are the projects that need help right now. Pick one that fits your skills and schedule, or pitch us something new.

  • By leveraging existing networks of transportation, GoLm has created a network of libraries that can get free 3D printer assistive devices to patrons throughout Michigan without the need for their home library to have a 3D printer.

    During our Pilot phase, we are collecting data on how this project could be expanded. Sponsored by Library Designs through the 3D printing of Novi Public Library
