You don't need a national scale project. You can start with your own, local library. Help make it into the best library around, and others will follow.

- toomuchtodo 12y agoHalf agree. Use a local library as the prototype, document how you did it and the results, and then scale up with that experience.
- blhack 12y agoSeriously, libraries seem to all recognize the need for hackerspaces, but they don't have hackers to staff them. They have budgets for things, and space, and a desire, they just need help figuring out where/how to spend things and how to then use the things they've gotten.
- walterbell 12y agoIs there an online community where hackers share knowledge about library-based hackerspaces?
- jjsz 12y agoYou can search around CfA's blogs, their Brigade people, the Sunlight Foundation's blogs, Knight Foundation's blogs, Techpresident's blog, mySociety's blogs, Open Knowledge Foundation's blogs but to me the best example of a great library turned into a makerspace is https://www.fflib.org/make/fab-lab https://www.fflib.org/make/fab-lab.
