Makerspaces, sometimes also referred to as hackerspaces,
hackspaces, and fablabs are creative, DIY spaces where people can
gather to create, invent, and learn. In libraries they often have
3D printers, software, electronics, craft and hardware supplies and
tools, and more. Makerspaces are becoming increasingly popular in
both public and academic libraries as a new way to engage patrons
and add value to traditional library services. Discover how you can
create a makerspace within your own library though this
step-by-step guidebook. From planning your innovation center to
hosting hack-a-thons, guest lectures, and social events in your new
lab, Makerspaces in Libraries provides detailed guidance and best
practices for creating an enduring, community driven space for all
to enjoy and from which both staff and patrons will benefit. This
well researched, in-depth guide will serve libraries of all sizes
seeking to implement the latest technologies and bring fresh life
and engaging programming to their libraries. Highlights and best
practices include: *budgeting and business planning for a
librarymakerspace, *creating operational documents, *tools and
resources overviews, *national and international case studies,
*becoming familiar with 3D printers through practical printing
projects (seed bombs), *how to get started with Arduino (illuminate
your library with a LED ambient mood light), *how to host a FIRST
Robotics Team at the library, *how to develop hands-on engagement
