vital arts commissioned an array of artists and designers to liven up the wards at the royal london children’s hospital.
What, after all, are libraries really about? Are libraries mostly about books and study? Or are libraries mostly about community, and the making of things and ideas? This core question is batted around like a beach ball in a crowd during endless discussions about library funding, staffing, programming, collections - you've been there and have likely pondered the question yourself. It came up early in a May 22 webinar Transforming Library Space for Community Engagement and (spoiler alert), it turns out that libraries are about all of those things, but mostly about people and their communities. Today's evolving libraries are weeding collections and rethinking how to give their people the space they need to better engage as community.

Makerspaces engage students and encourage critical thinking and collaboration, but getting started can be daunting.
Need an idea for a display in your public library? How about hobbies for beginners? Put together a display that will engage your patrons and highlight your non fiction collection! • choose items geared towards beginners in each topic • choose hobbies with no cost or low start up cost • select a variety of material types (AV, books, e resources) • add some fun signage (I made a decision tree to help patrons choose a hobby) • add pamphlets for relevant library programs/digital content/collections (e.g.: software offered in library, classes, makerspace tech)
