I wish it were a "thing" for libraries to take on the goal of also hosting non-profit hackerspaces or makerlabs within their facilities. The for-profit makerspaces are just too cost-burdensome for me to interact with. Ironically, in a way, this is why I've got a fairly decent electronics lab in my study. I see the pricetag for a single day pass at the local for-profit makerspace, and balk at the cost, then just settle on buying the equipment myself. The only times this hasn't been an exorbitant affair is when I need to use the CNC mill or a high-quality 3D printer, for which a day pass at a local for-profit shop is the only real option. Even then, about half of the for-profit maker shops seem to not have high quality equipment. Like a 3D printer that allows them to check the "3D printer" block on advertising for a day-pass, but actually is not a good 3D printer. I feel like libraries and non-profit hackerspaces or makerlabs come from the same sort of intellectual genesis, and would make easy partners.
