Libraries don’t have to (and shouldn’t) choose between being a library or a “makerspace.” They are both!
And I don’t really have to write a post about this, because Colleen Graves has already done so: A Library AND a Makerspace. Her library is a school library, where children come to:
- Read
- Learn
- Make
- Study
- Research
All of these things go on in every library! Every library is a makerspace and a library.
Many libraries have closed in the UK which is a very bad move. Libraries are full of magic and wonder. On a positive note many libraries have really upped their game. I love mobile libraries as well.

Many libraries are closing in the US, as well, or, if still open making do with not enough funding. Since you love libraries, I hope you are also supporting them when possible.
