Libraries serve as a community hub – a common service and a content space to share and make things. The support we give to enhance culture is also a major strategy. When we share knowledge in our libraries, we are breaking out from yesterday’s technology.
At the American Library Association meeting in Seattle, there was a interesting event that drew a large crowd. It was a program that discussed how the maker space is developing and how libraries will be part of the trend. A group from Make Magazine created a lot of excitement.
In “Libraries and Makerspaces: a match made in heaven” – Cory Doctorow recognizes that “Libraries also serve as community hubs, places where the curious, the scholarly, and the intellectually excitable can gather in the company of one another, surrounding by untold information-wealth, presiding over by skilled information professionals who lend technical assistance where needed.”
