Make Way for Makerspaces in the Library

Wednesday, 17 October 2012 2:00pm
Duration of Training (in hours): 
1
fee-based training

Makerspaces are gaining popularity in public libraries across the U.S. These innovative spots introduce library patrons to tools, like 3D printers and makerbots, not normally found in the library and offer patrons the opportunity to explore their interests, use new tools, and develop creative projects. Join webinar presenter, Lauren Britton, developer of the "Fayetteville Fab Lab" at the Fayetteville (N.Y.) Free Library, to learn all about makerspaces including what they are, why your library should think about developing one, and what elements need to be incorporated. Lauren will share project and programming ideas and examples of current library makerspaces, as well as answer attendee questions. Join us for this informative look at libraries on the cutting edge of patron creation.
