Libraries as Maker Spaces



Fayetteville Free Library's MakerBot

In a radical reboot of the image of the library, the Fayetteville Free Library is the first public library to open a maker space in the United States. Since then, other public libraries have created maker space programs in their institutions.

I love the "libraries as maker spaces" trend because I think that they showcase how libraries are able to adapt and change to support the intellectual, functional and collaborative needs of their communities.
