I was assigned to read this book as part of a book study for my job. It was an informative book and helped me think beyond my current ideas about makerspaces. I found a lot of good tips and insights and appreciated the assignments that helped push me to actually do something rather than casually read. I came away from the book with a very lengthy to do list with focused goals.
Since I read the book as part of a group of other librarians, my thoughts on it are tied to that. One of the best parts of reading the book, for me, was reading other librarians insights, ideas and tips. I love collaboration!
