FabLib advanced Package for libraries
FabLib
The FabLib advanced package is the ideal way to get started with your own library makerspace! Take a look at the tools selected for the advanced makerspace in your library.
In addition to the traditional range, more and more libraries are investing in manufacturing sites to offer extra social value and "empowerment" to its community. In these manufacturing places people get started with digital fabrication to make things themselves. This new kind of digital literacy is essential to ensure the entire society benefits from the new digital age. We want to bridge the digital divide.
The FabLib library maker space allows users to acquire digital skills. By offering facilities and expert guidance & activity development, a library's maker space is of great value for a library facility.
