Abstract
Library maker services are a current focus of the industry's theoretical research and practice. With the popularization of the maker movement and the development of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation” in China, the library has been forced to re-examine itself and seek new development opportunities and spaces. Based on the experience of library maker service activities both at home and abroad, this paper explores the design of the library space transformation and the practice of the maker services in Shenyang Normal University. In the face of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation” and the background of education, library maker services have become the main melody, and the construction of makerspaces is the panacea to boost the development of library services. Every qualified library needs to be transformed, insufficient ones need to be reformed, and maker services are not only a development drive of the era, but also the essential path to the future.

Summary
Maker activity first appeared in the United States. “Makers” are a group of people who are enthusiastic about creating, designing and manufacturing. They are willing, energetic, enthusiastic and capable. The Maker Magazine in the United States defined makerspace as: “a real physical space, the open and exchange fablab, makelab and techshop with the function of processing workshop and studio. The maker activity soon developed into a nationwide maker movement, which is valued by various fields, such as government, schools and enterprises. In 2012, president Obama launched a government program that would allow more than 1,000 U.S schools over the four years to create makerspaces with digital manufacturing tools such as 3D printers and laser-cutting machines.
