Quotes from Librarians
Libraries aren't just about books, they're about learning and literacies of all sorts and I think that this is just a different avenue to have learning but I think its good because it exposes the teens to these newer technologies early on and if they then go on to college and there's a 3D printer or a robotics workshop or something they can say oh yea I've done that. before.

It’s a question of does information go to your library to die or does it go there to take on new life? And if you maintain a traditional library, you're an archivist and that is where information goes to die and that's sad.
Quotes from Students
The first time we had the maker ability within the library and it sort of trickled out throughout the school… It didn't just change the library it changed the mentality of the whole school it seemed. Instead of saying we can't do that because we don't know how, it’s we can do that, how can we figure out how to do it.

If you were to consider the whole library as a maker space, I'd say it's really different than pretty much any other library that I've pretty
much ever seen because it seems like it's more free and not really the 'shhhhhh' thing that's in
most libraries.
