“A fysical loca,on in which people with a shared interest (mostly but nog exclusively technology or science related) can gather, meet, socialise, learn, teach and create and share knowledge”
A library as a makerspace should: • Facilitate room and equipment • Support the produc3on of
informa3on, knowledge, services and products
• For the people and by the people • Local ini3a3ves • Supports personal and
professional development

“A library without
a
collec,on is a communitycentre,
a
place for debate, seats2m
eet,
Fablab or café: Everythin
g, but no
library”
(Bruynzeels, 2013)
But there are challanges • Budget cuts • No priority • No Makers mantality
We want to make the library a fabulous place!
How do you see the future of the
makers library?
