Abstract
ABSTRACT Follow our journey to encourage permanent makerspaces in rural communities by providing 35 libraries a temporary makerspace. Paired with support and marketing tools, the communities garnered local support and an awareness of makerspace benefits. The Library Innovation Studios project proved valuable in broadening library services. Learn about the multi-faceted project – the makerspace kits, sustainability strategies employed, partner/library responsibilities, and the opportunity to make improvements as cycles progressed. We blended community engagement processes, trainings, user-friendly instructions, and supplied materials to promote immediate making. Other facets included local and statewide events and on-going networking tools – an e-mail group and a makerspace database.
