In my case, I submitted a proposal on behalf of PLD for a annual conference session on maker spaces (see description below). With a nameless person’s assurance that that we could backfill a speaker if the proposal was accepted, I gamely marched forward without a speaker(s) in place. It was a heck of a lot easier to leave that detail until the future. Well, the future is upon me, the proposal was accepted, and I write to you, dear reader, for you help in locating said mysterious speaker(s). Help me!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am looking for someone or two who has real world experience setting up and implementing a maker space in a library.

How do libraries know what tools and materials to purchase? What are the problems libraries have encountered? Hear from libraries who have implemented maker spaces and learn about what works, what doesn't work, and how to avoid expensive and time consuming pitfalls in the new and exciting area of maker spaces.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=350 style='width:262.5pt;border:none;border-top:solid windowtext 1.0pt'><tr><td width=106 valign=top style='width:79.5pt;border:none;padding:3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:blue'><img width=107 height=108 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CEC8E6.9DF47500" alt="Library square logo SMALL"><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td valign=top style='border:none;padding:3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:blue'>Maureen Cole<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:blue'><a href="mailto:jloeffler@orcity.org">mcole@orcity.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:blue'>Library Director<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:blue'>Oregon City Public Library<br>606 John Adams St.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:blue'>Oregon City, Oregon 97045<br>503-657-8269 ext. 1010 Direct phone<br>503-657-3702 fax <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Website: </span></b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.orcity.org/">www.orcity.org</a> <br>Follow us on: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a>!</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#4F81BD'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>PUBLIC RECORDS LAW DISCLOSURE: This e-mail is subject to the <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>State Retention Schedule and may be made available to the public.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
