The Montgomery County Memorial Library System on Feb. 19 marked the grand opening of the Innovation Space at the Kevin Brady Library in The Woodlands, a creative space including its Podcast Studio and an Innovation Lab with tools such as 3D printers.

What to expect: Part of the Innovate@MCMLS initiative, the space includes several 3D printers with different capacities, a 3D scanner, a large-format cutting machine, heat presses and a sublimation printer and other tools.

Quote of note: "We need [libraries] more than ever," said Kevin Brady, who retired as representative of Texas' 8th Congressional District in 2022. "These are learning centers ... to expand your world. ... It's not just for kids, it's for adults, for small-business people, for seniors. The county has done a beautiful job with this library."
