Watch what Chloe started...

 What a change from yesterday!


Collaborative, Cooperative, Creative...

And proud of their work!

Why a MakerSpace?

Take a look at this...Chris R. made my day! 

It's still all about the books and facilitating interest driven inquiry!


So in my Origami space, I have put out several "How To" guides.

In my LEGO space I have LEGO books and instruction guides.

In both, I provide Chromebooks so the curious can continue 

past what I provide. 


And then I hold my breath and wait for a moment like this!

Chris asked if he could 

CHECK OUT THE BOOK!


As my respected colleague Kristina Holzweiss said to me, 

and all dedicated Librarians know...

It's a Hook for the Book!

Finally! A girl checks out the 

 LEGOs! 

Leave it to Chloe G. to break the ice.

There's always a game changer in the crowd!  

Thanks, Chloe!
