Take our Makerspace survey!
The Jeffersonville Township Public Library is exploring the possibility of creating a makerspace and we need YOUR input!
What is a makerspace?
A makerspace (sometimes known as a hackerspace or fablab) is a community-operated workspace specifically designed to allow users to collaborate, create, build, and learn new projects and technologies.
Why build a makerspace at the library?
We feel that the library connects the community to expertise, information, and resources to facilitate programs that foster innovation and life-long learning.
So how can you help?
By taking our makerspace survey! There are 3 ways to take the survey:
- On Paper: paper copies of the survey are available at all public service desks
- Online: take the survey online at http://goo.gl/ivh4l4
- On Our Website: fill the survey in here on our website by clicking the “continue reading” link: Continue Reading →
