Making It Real: Why a Makerspace Might Make Sense for Your Library
Get PDFMakerspaces are a growing area of service for all types of libraries. People with varying skill levels create projects in these collaborative environments with support from one another and access to equipment and materials. The resulting space and activities can greatly impact the community served by the library, but are not always seen as a clear application of the library’s mission.
