Queensbridge Tech Lab (QBTL) is Queens Public Library's technology makerspace—a welcoming place where people of all ages and skill levels can learn, create, explore, and get personalized technology support. Whether you're using a computer for the first time, building your digital skills, creating a project, preparing for a certification, or experimenting with new technology, QBTL offers the tools, space, and guidance to help you achieve your goals.

No experience is necessary. Our knowledgeable staff are here to answer questions, provide one-on-one assistance, and help you learn at your own pace. Whether you prefer structured workshops, hands-on exploration, or independent projects, you'll find opportunities to discover something new every time you visit. 

QBTL is more than a place to take technology classes—it's a community space where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is supported, and learning happens through exploration.
