Ebook: 63 Ready-to-Use Maker Projects

You know your fellow librarians are a creative bunch— 63 Maker Projects for Librarians leaves no doubt. Editor and maker Ellyssa Kroski has gathered librarians and makers who work with libraries offer how-to guidance for a remarkable range of projects, as fun as an upcycled fashion show, as practical as Bluetooth speakers, or as mischievous as a catapult. With takeaways like origami tea lights or a T-shirt tote bag, your patrons will remember their fun at the library. You'll find projects for artists, sewers, videographers, coders, and engineers. The quick reference format will help you quickly identify the estimated costs, materials, equipment, and whether the project requires a makerspace (plenty don't).
