Installations vary to reflect the diverse interests in our community.
One installation may feature participatory art and culture; another
may solicit opinions on an upcoming initiative or library service, or
be hands-on, demonstrating new technology.

mentors who feel comfortable with their skill
sets
• Learning by doing, sharing, reflecting
• Including tinkering and play as learning
experiences for staff as well as an element of
data reporting
• Market/publicize makerspace opportunities
for learning and events; create and build on
community excitement and expertise Sources: http://www.slideshare.net/ALATechSource/makerspaces-a-new-wave-of-library-service-the-westport-ct-public-library and http://www.thedigitalshift.com/2012/10/public-services/the-makings-of-maker-spaces-part-1-space-for-creation-not-just-consumption/
• Considerations for infrastructure/building needs: power, permits, supplies, tools, fundraising/grants/crowdsourcing, community experts
• Considerations for safety/liability
• Create forms and channels for safety waivers and volunteering opportunities
• Managing logistics of sound, noise, mess, crowds
