The Daring Librarian

APRIL 13, 2019

When we have testing in our Library, I put all our Makerspace stuff on an AV cart and roll it into our server room. You can take baby steps into the Maker Movement. I'm not 100% sold, even after 7 years of talking about the Maker Movement, that it's something that's here to stay and not just a fad. Just like new!

You’re in the library! As the great-granddaughter of a librarian, I was brought up to know that the quiet of the library was sacred space. After a year of ordering materials with limited library money, they realized that students were more likely to participate in crafty upcycling than what they had spent the funds on anyway.

But we also know that for many educators summer is a time to collaborate, try new tools, and come up with ideas. Studies have shown that the gap between what high- and low-income families spend on education enrichment has tripled in the last 40 years. You want to relax this summer. But the kids don’t get to have all the fun.

I thought it only appropriate to think about the idea of Making and Creating in education. Each time I see this I am impressed by the educator, or group of educators, trying to make such a space possible for their school.

I weeded my library like crazy and made mock-ups using Google Drawings to help them envision the new space. At conferences I went to everything with the word "maker" in the title. I set up a filter on TweetDeck to see everything posted on #makered and #makerspace. I spent a solid year planning my makerspace.
