9. “A
fysical
loca,on
in
which
people
with
a
shared
interest
(mostly
but
nog
exclusively
technology
or
science
related)
can
gather,
meet,
socialise,
learn,
teach
and
create
and
share
knowledge”

library
as

knowledge
crea,on

(Lankes,

“A
library
without
a
collec,on
is
a
communitycentre,
a
place
for
debate,
seats2meet,
Fablab
or
café:
Everything,
but
no
library”
(Bruynzeels,
2013)

15. But
there
are
challanges
• Budget
cuts
• No
priority
• No
Makers
mantality

want
to
make
the
library
a
fabulous
place!
How
do
you
see
the
future
of
the
makers
library?
