]Event Description
Workshop Description:
A full-day workshop designed for staff from libraries of all types who have already developed makerspace strategies and programming. Join colleagues facilitating makerspaces in libraries of all types from around the state for a day of collaboration, reflection, and idea development to bring your space and community connections to the next level. We’ll meet at the Monroe Township Public Library to network, develop strategies for community partnerships, reflect, and build a community of practice.
Learning Objectives:
By participating in this workshop, you’ll be able to:
- Implement new strategies, tools, and initiatives learned from other libraries and gain ideas for potential partnerships and connections to your service community.
- Articulate the value of library makerspaces to both your community and management team.
- Reflect with clarity on challenges, successes, and outcomes of your library’s makerspace experiences to date.
- Build a statewide community of practice among fellow library makerspace managers.
