Makerspaces are a growing service in libraries. They are places to invent, tinker, build, and explore; access to the tools and equipment fosters a spirit of creativity and the pursuit of knowledge. Burke and Kroski profile successful library makerspaces, and help readers spot new trends, offer inspiration, and find grant and funding sources.

Professional collection.
