TOOLKIT
a toolkit for creative spaces in libraries
The make-a-thek approach is a flexible path to activate creative spaces in libraries. It’s built on four pillars - Spaces, Machines, Activities, Communities - and supports continuous growth. There’s no one-size-fits-all: what matters is the process, not the level. Start small, improve skills and evolve with your community.
The make-a-thek approach:
This toolkit is designed to guide you—at your own pace—in finding the resources that best suit your needs when creating a makerspace in your library. Enjoy exploring the questionnaire, or feel free to browse the resources independently.
QUESTIONNAIRE
A short questionnaire to help you understand where your library is in the make-a-thek journey, and get tailored tips to grow, improve, and track progress over time.
RESOURCES
A collection of thematic insights, practical tips, and ready-to-use activities to help you start making your make-a-thek space.
The pillars are interconnected themes that help you build your make-a-thek space step by step, breaking down complexity into manageable actions.
