The Cleveland Public Library transformed its computer lab into a MakerSpace to provide patrons with opportunities for learning, collaboration, and access to tools/equipment. They conducted research to understand patron needs and skills. The MakerSpace offers simple making tools like LittleBits and Snap Circuits, as well as a 3D printer. The library plans to expand the MakerSpace by adding more kits, tools, and programs.
