Makerspace
A place where people learn to use tools and materials and can develop creative projects
Can be embedded inside an existing organization or standalone on its own
Adaptable—can be shaped by educational goals as well as individuals’ creative interests

collaborative learning environments where people come together to share materials and learn new skills
not necessarily born out of a specific set of materials or spaces, but rather a mindset of community partnership, collaboration, and creation
people can create content as well as consume it in this incubator for ideas and ventures

what does the library
as a makerspace
culture of learning have to do with
libraries?

A makerspace culture supports the mission of libraries to enable lifelong learning and to support knowledge creation in their communities

a makerspace culture of learning that values participatory learning is a lens to help us see
the possibilities and create a context for
crafting a shared vision of library in
learning communities
relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement
strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations with others
co-expertise and fluidity in roles of experts and novices
members feel some degree of social connection with one another
