Many aspects of the best makerspaces already exist in school libraries:
* Librarians and LMS’s are experts in finding resources and connecting them with kids and teachers who need them.
* Libraries are community spaces that offer learning outside classroom structures and time limitations
* Libraries model cross-grade, cross-curricular experiences
* Libraries often incorporate student-led and mentoring experiences
Libraries are about sense-making, which is the most important aspect of making in an educational context.
All these are perfect for schools who are looking to incorporate making and tinkering into their curriculum.
