This document discusses the creation of makerspaces in libraries to foster collaborative learning. It provides examples of different makerspace programs and activities, such as crafting groups, writing clubs, and idea boxes that allow community input. The document outlines considerations for starting a makerspace, including identifying community needs, building staff support, ensuring safety, and assessing the impact of programs. Tips include verifying skill levels, doing a trial run, and reaching out for help. Makerspaces are presented as a way to support learning through creation, play, and collaboration.
