Good Morning!

I am in a middle school and have been working on developing a maker mindset throughout my ilbrary program and the building for the past three years.  I have a space that is pretty active and I welcome visitors!

Good morning,

My fellow district library media specialists and I are interested in learning about and visiting local CT schools that have embraced the maker movement in their libraries to see the different approaches to implementation. Do you have a makerspace in your school library or in your school in general? Would you be willing to have a few visitors come and see how your space works and how you got started? We would ideally like to see examples from different levels so that we can approach it from a districtwide mindset.

Thanks so much for any information or advice you can share!
