Interesting post Peldon 🙂
It doesn’t seem like much of an effort was made to make the ‘makerspace’ interactive and engaging. As you say, people can do the same activity at their own home. It is a pity there weren’t more people participating in the same activity. It doesn’t sound as if the library made much of an effort to differentiate the makerspace from the rest of the library. I agree, perhaps their program would benefit from further research. It is a good reminder that libraries can’t just dedicate a time or space to an activity and expect people to use it, concerted effort needs to go in to the planning, designing and implementation of programs.
