 \n\nDescription\n\nMakerspaces are creative\, DIY spaces where people can 
 gather to create\, invent\, and learn. While some libraries have 
 long-established makerspaces\, others are just getting started. In this 
 webinar\, aimed at those who are relatively new to makerspaces\, we’ll 
 look at how we can put these spaces to work in a practical way. Even if you 
 don’t have a dedicated physical makerspace in your library\, you can 
 learn the theory behind makerspaces and programming that will work for 
 you.\n\nParticipants will explore:\n\n\n	Different types of makerspaces 
 \n	13 types of high-tech and low-tech makerspace tools of the trade\n	How 
 seven libraries are excelling with makerspaces\n	How to host 10 types of 
 programming events with or without a makerspace\n\n\nPresenter\n\nEllyssa
