"Create Space Explore Day is for everyone, and what's exciting is that every age group will have a different experience," said Jamieson Gardiner, APL's community creator. "We are working hard to increase the usability of the space, and the public should keep a close eye out for updates on an ongoing project we think they'll be very excited about!"
The Create Space includes spaces for reading, studying, computers, gathering, play and discovery for children, and creative work where ideas can grow and come to life.
