[OPLINLIST] Support Makers and Crafters in Your Community--OHIONET will show you how!

[Shelly Miller]

*Please excuse cross-postings.*

We all just love helping our users connect with the resources they both
want and need, especially those with a do-it-yourself attitude.  Makers and
crafters have been using libraries for years, but it’s not only about
macrame anymore.  Now we’re crafting with electronics and robotics,
too--check out this great YouTube
example<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAjWU2vTZTk>from the good folks
at the Delaware County District Library!  Or, maybe
you’ve noticed an uptick at your reference or help desk in the number of
people looking to learn how to customize their surroundings or to use their
creative talents to start a home-based business.  The Maker Movement--the
growing number of folks looking to consume and create one-of-kind or
handmade items--is all around us.  Join us to learn a bit more about this
rising subculture and pick up tips on how to support their needs.
