ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to recommend practical guidelines for developing and operating makerspaces in public libraries. Using the results of prior research, this study examines eight public library makerspaces across key elements, including space, size, staff, equipment, programs, and budget. This study finds that public library makerspaces should be built according to the library’s size, budget, and purpose, and should also employ sustainable operating strategies. On that basis, this study suggests three models of guidelines for implementing and developing makerspaces in public libraries: the “craft” makerspace at the basic level, the “studio” makerspace at the intermediate level, and the “platform” makerspace at the regional level.
