St. Cloud State University Unveils Creativity Commons with Open House on June 4th

(KNSI) – St. Cloud State University has created a new community space on campus.

The university is hosting an open house for the Creativity Commons in the James W. Miller Learning Resources Center on Wednesday, June 4th, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The space will offer free access to a wide range of digitization equipment, creative tools and crafting supplies. Everyone who stops by can explore the available equipment, work on a make-and-take craft and learn about how they can use the area.

“The Creativity Commons is designed to preserve memories and spark creativity,” said University Library Dean Rhonda Huisman. “Residents can digitize and preserve treasured memories or dive into new creative projects with an abundance of equipment and resources.”

Multiple digitization services are available, including converting VHS tapes, audio cassettes, 8mm movie reels and more to digital files. There are also audio and video studios for people to make their own projects with lighting, microphones and a camera setup.

Other hands-on creative options include scrapbooking supplies, knitting and crocheting kits, yarn and origami.

Summer hours for the Creativity Commons are Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 4:15 p.m. or by appointment.
