- Handout – with all copy including websites (that’s why lots are included) Drawing for books How-to fests are exploding around the country. They introduce patrons to new ideas and create a “maker” out of all of us. Although, sometimes it can be a struggle to coordinate and host these events due to low funds, lack of technology needed to host robotics, or finding ways to target these events beyond children and families. All of these concerns make for a daunting task for most, but it doesn’t have to be. In this new workshop, programming guru and award-winning teen librarian Amy Alessio will provide you with easy, low-cost how-to fest ideas for adults from age 20 and beyond. She will take the struggle out of hosting these types of events by teaching you how to plan, tweak, and manage accordingly. You’ll also come out of the workshop with 20 new programming ideas to use for future events at your library. After participating in this workshop, you will have: • Learned several skills and projects that will translate well to either drop-in or registered hands-on workshops. • Gained ideas for tweaking or starting an annual how-to fest that patrons will enjoy and that will not break your budget. • Discovered manageable strategies for your library staff to host a large event **Maker Day styles and hacks Second half is specific activity ideas – more than 20 that would work well with adults especially, or families What’s great about maker days? Chances to showcase library, explore talents, fun, great value for patrons What’s hard about them? Expensive, time consuming, tons of planning, stressful. We have been having these for years! How are these things different from summer reading?

- Anything unusual or different at your library? And I don’t mean the patrons… What do adults want? Can they get it in the drive through? Book Club in a Bag 50 Things You Can Borrow from Libraries Besides Books Posted by Amy Shaw, Jaclyn Rosansky on September 9th, 2015 Curious, I decided to google libraries and strange and/or unusual things you can borrow. I came up with a list of more than 60 items, which made me think — as I’ve often thought of in the past — that libraries are really like the Doctor Who and his Tardis. As with the Tardis — that flying contraption used by the Doctor to travel across space and time in the BBC TV show, Doctor Who — libraries are bigger on the inside and full of all kinds of nifty things. In my search, I found things, such as Santa Suits (Bolivar County Library System in Mississippi) and snowshoes (Baldwin Memorial Library in Wells River, Vermont). (As I write this, I am in Florida in summer. It is hot. Very hot.) I even found libraries where you can check out actua

Our librarians are architects, designers, tinkerers who are interested in fostering creative, social thinking and learning through making. - See more at: http://makerlibrarynetwork.org/makerspace/#sthash.qIqtqROs.dpuf We’ve actually all been doing this for years It was an action packed weekend for Maker Library Network in Cape Town. The workshops at 75 Harrington kicked off on Saturday with a screen printing session ran by Work Space from Hout Bay and MAKLab from Glasgow. This was followed by a wearble tech session where visitors made light up beanies with flashing LEDs. Meanwhile the Mobile Maker Library was at Neighbourgoods market where the guys from Thingking, GRAS Studio and The Maker Space all worked together to pioneer some amazing stools made from copper piping and plywood. On Sunday the whole MLN team were at 75 Harrington Street for a marathon making session. There was a wooden toys workshop where Alex taught the team how to make model cars from some CDs and a mousetrap. The guys also continued to develop their Himmeli stools and others experimented with bending wood with steam. Some amazing collaborations have taken place over the weekend and many new friendships formed. - See more at: http://makerlibrarynetwork.org/blog/maker-library-showcase-cape-town/#sthash.15oG15xF.dpuf
