Making

Making is an activity that encourages students and patrons to use the library in a new way: to create, use, and share.

Canino-Fluit, A. (2014). School library makerspaces: Making it up as I go. Teacher

Librarian, 41(5), 21-27.

Makerspace

Makerspaces are exciting new services being offered in libraries at the school, public, and academic level. They create an engaging atmosphere for learning and experimentation but they do come with their own challenges and successes.

• No two makerspaces are the same

• They are not for every library or librarian

• Start small or go big it is your choice

• The decision to incorporate a makerspace boils down to whether it is right for your students and your community.
