A PERSON WHO BOOKED HIMSELF TO BE SPEAKING IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND TO A GROUP OF AWESOME PEOPLE AND THEN

DOUBLE BOOKED HIMSELF WHEN HE AGREED TO RAISE MONEY FOR A LOCAL CHARITY AND SHAVE HIS HEAD AT A LIBRARY ONLY TO

REALIZE HE WOULDN’T BE AT THE LIBRARY AND MADE A SPLIT SECOND DECISION TO SHAVE HIS

HEAD AND BEARD OVER SKYPE SO THAT THE FOLKS BACK AT THE CHATTANOOGA PUBLIC

LIBRARY COULD GIGGLE AT THEIR LIBRARIAN SHAVING THEIR HEAD IN A LIBRARY?

THE COMMUNITY DEFINES

INNOVATION

THE LIBRARY LISTENS, INTERPRETS, AND MAKES AWESOME THINGS HAPPEN

SO WHAT IS A MAKERSPACE?

IS IT IN A ROOM ALL BY ITSELF?

WHAT DOES IT HAVE IN IT?

WHAT SUPPLIES DO I NEED?

I DON’T HAVE THE ANSWER

INFORMAL LEARNING

PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE IN A VERY UNIQUE

POSITION TO SUPPORT LEARNING

TECHNOLOGY IS HELPFUL

EXPERIENCE IS KEY

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

IT IS A NEW AND EXCITING WAY TO WORK

NOW I AM GOING TO GO AND INNOVATIVELY SHAVE MY HEAD
