Experience virtual reality at the library.  Each month we’ll feature a different educational or cultural VR experience that explores geography, science, art, history, and more.  After trying this month’s featured app, you can explore any of the other available VR experiences including games.   

For each VR Studio session, there are 2 time slots for the Oculus GO, 2 time slots for the Oculus Quest, and 1 time slot for the HTC Vive.
