The Parkman Branch of the Detroit Public Library is in the process of planning a Makerspace for youth. We are interested in talking with public libraries that have created a Makerspace to gain insight about the cost, types of tools that can be offered, patron use policies, challenges, and any additional information that would be helpful. 

Please contact me off list at cjolly@detroitpubliclibrary.org if you would be willing to share your experience with creating and offering a Makerspace for youth at your public library. Your help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
