(Please pardon repeated posts). My thanks to everyone who has responded to the survey so far. I am still eager to hear about libraries of all types that have implemented or are planning to implement makerspaces or "making" activities. Please respond to the survey linked below before October 22. Thank you so much! John John J.

These spaces are areas in a library where patrons can use tools and equipment to imagine, design, build, and create all sorts of different things. I'm trying to get a sense of what types of making are happening in various library settings. If you have a makerspace or are planning to launch one, I would appreciate you taking a few minutes to fill out my survey at http://tinyurl.com/librarymakerspaces It should take about five minutes to complete (depending on how much you’d like to share). The results of the survey will be shared with this list soon after the survey closes, with a more involved analysis available once the book is published. I am eager to learn more about makerspace implementations, and to share that information with you. Please complete the survey before *October 22*. Thanks so much for your participation! John John J.
