Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between Digital Innovation Hubs and Pop-Up Learning Labs?
- Digital Innovation Hubs are dedicated spaces in six locations (Agincourt, Albion, Downsview, Fort York, Scarborough Civic Centre branches and Toronto Reference Library) with new and emerging equipment that anyone with a library card can access. Pop-Up Learning Labs are collections of mobile equipment similar to what you would find in a Digital Innovation Hub but it moves to different branches and the equipment is used for programming purposes.
- How can I use the Pop-Up Learning Lab equipment?
- The Pop-Up Learning Lab equipment is used to support staff-led programs, workshops and demonstrations at branches without a Digital Innovation Hub. Sign up for a program nearest you to explore and create using the latest technologies.
- When will the Pop-Up Learning Labs visit my branch?
- Pop-Up Learning Labs move around to different branches every month. Check out the schedule to see when the Pop-Up Learning Labs will visit the branch nearest you.
