Again, read this for a library methods class. Good but not as engaging as others on the topic.

This book touches on fundamental reasons why one should start a makerspace and gives a few practical considerations. I benefited from the quick big picture perspective but wish more was discussed.
Fleming, a national expert in Makerspaces, packs a lot of information into a slender volume. Helpful and informative.
A great read on why school libraries make great makerspaces. I wasn't exposed to any entirely new information but picked up a couple extra ideas and resources. Great beginner maker ed book.

I read this book for a group book study at work, it was quite good and offered many practical ideas.
So completely generic that it was unusable as a reference (and felt like a ripoff at this price point).
Super expensive for a 60 page manual
Some good tips here. Very quick read.
This very short book of 65 pages including references is a part of "Corwin Connected Educators Series" - the series deals with various aspects for educators.
