Origins of the Space

The Maker Spot was an idea that originated during the development of a partnership between the Tarrant Makers and the North Richland Hills Library in 2013. The Maker Spot was funded by a $75,000 Special Projects grant from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission and the Institute for Museum and Library Services (2015).  The City of North Richland Hills invested in the building's infrastructure and finished out the space with power, data, and drywall.

The Maker Spot opened on August 3, 2015, with a grand opening ceremony that was attended by city officials, library staff, community members, volunteers, and representatives from Senator Kelly Hancock’s office.
