A very interesting argument Luke, which I enjoyed reading. I thought it was good how you presented both sides of the argument, but concluded that makerspaces should definitely come under the libraries’ mandate. I will be attending my first public library makerspace on Sunday, so it will be interesting to compare the program against your argument. I am particularly interested to see the demographics that attend, as I also read that minorities are under-represented in library programs. Thank you for giving me something to think about when I attend the program. A minor point I noticed in your title, you put week 10 and it’s week 9, they’re all starting to blur into one.
