Many libraries have found that maker culture and makerspaces fit naturally with their existing missions, and have begun to incorporate makerspaces into the services they offer their communities. In this session, you will have the opportunity to visit different makerspace stations to find out more about the kind of supplies, skills, and ideas you would need to start your own program. This workshop will be held during the School Librarians of Rhode Island Annual Conference. You may join the conference starting at 2:00 pm for this workshop at no charge. Librarians who have registered for the entire conference are invited to participate as well.
Intended Audience: School Librarians, Public Librarians
Series: Media Smart Libraries
The Media Smart Libraries program was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
