Makerspace for Libraries

A makerspace is a learning environment, whether self or through a guide. It can be established independently or with an organization. Since Library is there as the heart of any organization, by being a learning environment it automatically finds a place adjacent to our Library, sometimes inside our library.
 Makerspaces for libraries
We the Library staff, better than anyone know that, our libraries are not just books now a days. Makerspace is a facility for our users to think and act creatively by harnessing ideas from our information resources. Librarian can be a great leader in this aspect by teaching them creativity by being creative and making the space creative.
At this current scenario, where librarians value is being constantly tested, is a well planned, designed and serviced makerspace for libraries, categorized by the user group,  going to boost the status of its leader, the Librarian? Is it not the responsibility of an Information House and its staff to create Creative Professionals/Innovators for the sake of our nation and its people?  Or do we want to just keep ourselves stay in the storing, visibility and access technologies of information?

We have a set up  called Information and Creativity Centre in our Library, whether it is used by all or not, we are happy that if one fellow turn up asking for some facility with an immediate access to reference materials, we have it to serve in the modern set up.
Up to you to choose it or discard it. More suited to school libraries, because the creativity buds blooms from that arena. If our schools are following a practical oriented, case study enabled, collaborative pedagogy, this will bring far fetching results, not only for the students but also for the Librarian.

See in a way we are growing, and it is a chance to grow with them and with the world.

For a better world.

I only hope that with the advent of makerspaces, the service in its new avtaar will recreate its own useful space in today's environment.
