Check out this fantastic slideshare by Buffy Hamilton:



There are some great ideas here: A Librarian's Guide to Makerspaces from OEDB, March 20, 2013.

Look: American Libraries Manufacturing Makerspaces (public libraries), 

Scheduled for release October 30, 2013 is School Library Makerspaces, Grades 6-12 by Library Media Specialist Leslie B. Preddy. I'm looking forward to reading this book!

How about this nifty timelapse?



Thanks to school librarian colleague Anne Torige for sharing this resource-filled link with me:
30 STEM Networks and Maker Resources from GettingSmart, August 11, 2013.
