Terrific Makerspace Projects: A Practical Guide for Librarians
features fifteen customizable projects that were designed as
projects created by librarians/makerspace facilitators, rather than
projects in which librarians guided others (makerspace users).
These projects were showcased during library events with the goal
of promoting the makerspace, as well as other library services,
while using them to build connections both within and external to
the library. This book outlines maker projects in detail and
provides plenty of photos and resources so readers can recreate,
customize, and implement them. People at all skill levels in every
type of makerspace will find something they can try, with projects
that range from simple and low-tech to more complex and tech-heavy.
Most projects are inexpensive, taking advantage of free online
tools, upcycled or repurposed materials, and low cost electronics
such as Arduinos. Each project can be approached as an offering for
makerspace visitors or can be created by library employees
themselves as tools to engage in outreach and promote the
makerspace, library services, the institution, and more. Every
project has been created and tested in a real library setting by
the authors, who present lessons learned, possible variations, and
different ideas on how to implement the projects to their fullest
extent. Explore the idea of using the makerspace to highlight the
value of other library services, or simply find new and fun ways to
engage with your users. The book also offers suggestions on how to
be a great maker, and tips on makerspace safety, finding low-cost
materials, and more. Whether you're just beginning your makerspace
or looking for fresh ideas for your established space, this book
has something to offer.
