Digital Media Creation
Digital Media Creation
Digital media creation happens within the Bubbler with community groups and classes that meet, design, and make! Using the library’s available technology such as computers, cameras, and media software, the Bubbler staff facilitate great learning experiences for making music, video, and more.
Please note: There is no general public access to the Media Lab at Central Library. Limited access is available for community groups and organizations upon request. See below for further information or get in touch!
For individuals looking to create digital media projects we have staff who can consult with you on your project but we do not have studio space for you to work on your project or staff to do your project for you. If you would like consultation on your project please email Trent Miller (tmiller@madisonpubliclibrary.org) to set up a consultation with appropriate staff. If you are looking for a space to do your project or experts to do your project for you here is a list of some options in the Madison area.
Resources
There are also over 100 computers available across all Madison Public Library locations, available on a first-come, first-served basis during regular open hours.
