Youth Services News Makerspace

[director at shuterlibrary.net]

Hi Linda! 

My library is currently building a Makerspace and I'm trying to get my
procedures in order. My goal is to keep everything free for anyone using
the equipment and space. I am fortunate to have a community with many
people who are eager to donate either supplies or money. For example, we
have a local quilter's group who are going to be donating quite a bit of
fabric and sewing supplies.  

I'm open to changing procedures if it becomes too much of a financial
burden but will do everything I can to keep everything in the library
accessible to all, no matter their financial position. 

I hope this helps a bit.
