Hi, Everyone,
My colleague Andrea Levandowski, Library Consultant, Small Business Development & Technology, and I are working on a project called Catalyzing Teen Entrepreneurship through Makerspaces. We are sending out a survey to public libraries to ask if you would please fill it out so we can get an idea of what kinds of maker activities and makerspaces there are in NJ public libraries. Thank you in advance!

------------------
Please add your library to the scan of maker activities and makerspaces in New Jersey public libraries!
What is this survey? The purpose is to document making and makerspaces in public libraries and how libraries play a role in supporting teens and new adults (ages 18-24) as innovators, entrepreneurs, designers, and problem solvers with real world impact. The survey is designed to learn from public library staff about what is valuable and what is needed.
Why is it being conducted? NJ State Library will use what is learned to develop professional learning opportunities for NJ public library staff, including best practices in utilizing makerspaces and supporting teen innovation and community impact.
How might this impact me?
Who should participate?
How can I participate? Please fill out this brief survey. It should take no more than 10 minutes.
Who is collecting the data? Caitlin Martin is an external consultant conducting the statewide scan. The survey is the first step, followed by qualitative conversations with front line staff.
If you have any questions or would like to talk more about this, please contact Caitlin directly, at ...@gmail.com" style="color: #2199e8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">ckma...@gmail.com.
