Want to Start a Makerspace at School? Tips to Get Started As the Maker Movement starts to gain momentum, schools that are trying to find ways to foster the do-it-yourself environment can learn a few lessons from another nexus in the universe: public libraries.

Each class brainstormed and voted on a problem they wanted to address, and then formed subcommittees for publicity, finances, etc. So how did the library fit into this venture?

We host an Anime Club, monthly Poetry Slams, and Book Buddies, but I felt like we could do more.

My assistant and I began looking at innovative library programs and community partnerships.
