Kroski, E. (Ed.). (2018). 63 Ready-to-Use Maker Projects<https://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2017/11/63-ready-to-use-maker-projects.html>. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. ISBN: 9780838915912.

Description

This new compilation from editor and maker Kroski spotlights a multitude of creative projects that you can tailor for your own library. Librarians and makers from across the country present projects as fun as an upcycled fashion show, as practical as Bluetooth speakers, and as mischievous as a catapult. Included are projects for artists, sewers, videographers, coders, and engineers. The handy reference format will help you quickly identify the estimated costs, materials, and equipment; and because several projects don't even require a dedicated makerspace, every library can join in. Inside you'll find how-to guidance for projects like:


*         a foam rocket launcher;

*         stop-motion animation with 3D print characters;

*         found-object robots;

*         glowing ghost marionettes;

*         Arduino eTextiles;

*         magnetic slime;

*         yarn painting;

*         fidget flannels;

*         an LED brooch;

*         cardboard sculpture

With takeaways like origami tea lights or a t-shirt tote bag, your patrons will be sure to remember how much fun your library can be.

If you would like to request this or other materials from the State Library of Oregon please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form). Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us<mailto:library.request at state.or.us> or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks.

Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me<mailto:ross.fuqua at state.or.us> to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material.
