Resources to create a library makerspace for your community
on any budget.

Are limited staff, space, and budget preventing your library from creating a makerspace?

This toolkit provides a library-tested process for creating and sustaining a community-driven makerspace, no matter what your constraints.

 

An adaptable process

The Makers in the Library Toolkit was developed in collaboration with diverse public libraries across the country. It guides you through a flexible and adaptable process to meet the needs of your library community. This video provides an overview of our approach and features a few of our participating librarians.
