As its patrons know, the 325th force Support Squadron = Library provides a range of services and materials including printing, scanning, study guides, books, movies and even unconventional items like Launchpads or GoChips. But the library also has some new offerings.
First, in order to better serve the Tyndall community, the library has expanded its hours and is now open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
In addition, the library staff has converted a portion of the Young Adult Room into a science, technology, engineering, math laboratory with materials available for public use. Visitors who are five years and older are encouraged to come in to build circuit boards, program robots, construct machines or bridges, and design Lego creations.
The room also features a 3-D printer, which is available for public use, free of charge. Patrons wishing to take advantage of this service may email .STL files to tafblibrary@gmail.com. Library staff will then print the item and send an email notification when it is ready for pickup. This email can also be used to contact the library with suggestions or item requests.
The library staff is pleased to announce the imminent arrival of an entirely new item, video games. The hottest new releases and popular titles will be arriving on the shelves monthly, available for checkout.
The whole base community is encouraged to take advantage of the library’s new hours, services and materials. The Tyndall Library also offers plenty of opportunities to earn volunteer hours. The library is always in need of readers at its weekly story time every Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Volunteers are also needed to shelf books, help prepare crafts, and more. Interested patrons age 16 or older are encouraged to contact the library at tafblibrary@gmail.com or (850) 283- 4287.
