From light-up scarves to solar-powered backpacks to health
monitoring fabric, innovative combinations of electronics and
textiles are becoming more prevalent and impressive all the time,
making appearances everywhere from the runway to medical settings.
In the near future, these wearable technologies will be a standard
part of daily life. E-textiles, including soft circuits, conductive
fabrics, and sewable electronics, may not be familiar to all
library patrons now, but the way that e-textile projects combine
STEM topics with fun, familiar crafts make them popular for library
programs, interesting to diverse groups, and a great tool for
teaching new skills and techniques. Best of all, e-textile projects
can be designed to fit into budgets of all sizes and to appeal to
patrons of any age and level of technical proficiency. In this
book, you'll learn everything you need to know about the tools,
supplies, techniques, and science behind e-textiles and find out
how your library can design successful collections and programs
around this hot new topic. The book features key information about
the materials and techniques you'll need to know, examples of
libraries that have found success with e-textiles, step-by-step
advice on program creation, and projects that can be used for fun
and engaging library programs. By the time you finish reading, you
will have everything you need to develop a program that will
generate excitement within your community and introduce your
patrons to new and useful skills. Keep your library on the cutting
edge of technology with exciting and engaging e-textiles
programming!
