Recommendations from many makers

● Find out community interests● Start small: imagine growth in stages ● Offer workshops to demo/build making skills● Balance funding among library, partners, donors, grants● Move toward open/dirty/noisy/dedicated space● Consider mobile making and lending making stuff● Identify/host makers in residence/mentors● Hold maker camps/mini-maker faires● Listen to your makers and those who have gone before
