Makerspaces continue to transform and revitalize libraries, tapping into patron creativity and fostering collaboration. This volume gathers trailblazers of the maker movement to share their experiences and success stories. This volume is packed with programs and ideas you'll be excited to implement at your own library.
According to a Library Journal survey, 89 percent of public libraries now offer maker programming. And they're increasingly popular at academic and school libraries too. More than a decade since they first began to crop up they continue to transform and revitalize libraries, tapping into patron creativity and fostering collaboration. In this follow-up to her bestselling The Makerspace Librarians Sourcebook, Kroski gathers trailblazers of the maker movement to share their experiences and success stories. This volume is packed with programs and ideas you'll be excited to implement at your own library. Learn what's working (and what's not) through first-hand perspectives on such topics as
- survey results showing the most popular makerspace programs;
- 6 common makerspace challenges and the solutions to meet them;
- examples of successful local partnerships for public, academic, and school libraries;
- establishing norms that encourage safety and peer learning;
- meeting the needs of explorers, learners, and experts in your maker community;
- practical operational guidance, such as workflows for maintaining supplies like scissors, glue, and 3D printer filament;
- hardware and software choices that improve accessibility;
- new developments in 3D printers and modeling software;
- cataloging and circulating maker kits for crafting, soldering, and other projects;
- budgeting tips, including how to plan for ongoing operational costs;
- measuring outcomes in public library makerspaces; and
- future developments expected for library makerspaces and equipment.
You'll be introduced to a host of tried and tested programs you can adapt for your own library, helping you support your community through making.
