Makerspaces are becoming more and more popular in libraries across the country. They offer a place for people to come together to create, invent, and learn. If you are thinking about starting a makerspace in your library, or if you are just getting started, this article is for you!

What should I know about this?

There are a few things to keep in mind when getting started with makerspace activities for libraries. First, you need to decide what kinds of activities you want to offer. Do you want to focus on STEM projects? Or do you want to offer a more general makerspace where people can work on anything they like? Once you have an idea of the kind of makerspace you want to create, you can start planning what kinds of materials and equipment you will need.
Another important thing to consider is who will be using your makerspace. Will it be open to everyone? Or will it be geared towards specific groups like kids, teens, or adults? You’ll also need to think about how much supervision and assistance people will need.
