ABSTRACT

The paper explores the formation of Makerspace in public libraries, based on a survey on space usage and programs being operated. The respondents targeted librarians in public libraries. The survey is divided into two categories: in space usage section, the questionnaire explores level of openness of the space used; availability of equipment rental services; frequencies of the space rented; cost of management; and the number of people in charge. In program section, the survey asks on types of program being operated; spaces used for the program; age groups of participants, time and budget spent for the programs. The survey resulted in highlighting difficulties in dealing with a lack of equipment, space, and people in charge. The paper therefore raises the need of guidelines for the area, cost, and the equipment needed, based on mid- and long-term consultation with expert groups.
