Hi Sarah,

I like your quote from Queensland public libraries abut what libraries are. I think that clarifies for me that libraries have an official recognition as creative spaces. I like “Incubators of ideas, learning and innovation” as well. It seems to me there’s a lot of energy at the policy level and I wonder how that energy is filtered down into working libraries. I have no personal experience of working in libraries (yet!) so it’s difficult to guage.

In any event I love the idea of makerspaces and libraries as creativity hubs – whether they have a 3D printer or not!
