Hi Kara!

In my makerspace the big ticket items are the cricut machines and tshirt press, duct tape, button making, origami, and legos, though I have a few other items as well.

I'll share my LMC website with you, and on there I have a page specifically for makerspace which includes everything I offer and how it's used. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Hello,

I am putting together a proposal for a makerspace area at my school. I am wondering if any middle school librarians currently have makerspaces and if you could share with me some of the most successful items you've ordered for it, how your makerspace is utilized, and any design ideas.

I would really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Kara
