Koreatown Media Lab
Design, Create, Innovate
The Koreatown Media Lab is a makerspace and business center with high-quality, professional-grade computer hardware, software, and equipment to support library patrons with their educational, entrepreneurial, and creative endeavors.
The Koreatown Media Lab is open for reservations via appointment and for drop-in use. Due to County health restrictions on social distancing, the high level of hands-on support needed, and the fragility of the equipment, not all of our equipment and stations are available.
