Review:

"This text provides a balance between well-thought-out and researched support for makerspaces as well as practical ideas to help librarians through the hurdles of beginning one. . . . This text is a worthwhile resource for any library considering starting a learning revolution." - Booklist Online

"Egbert has written one of the best informational texts about makerspaces and the maker movement that this reviewer has read, largely due to her focus on creating makers, not just spaces. This should be the first resource librarians read when determining how to get started with makerspaces. Also, those librarians seeking justification for a makerspace, either with regard to budget or facility, will find ample research examples of how a maker mentality and fostering a learner's curiosity support learning and literacy. Regardless of age or level of experience or education, librarians will find a fresh and insightful perspective of maker culture in this book." - VOYA
