The Maker Library Network is a #BritishCouncil project that connects designers & makers globally. #MakerLibraries pic.twitter.com/58zUhpmjUg
A Maker Library is a creative space for making, showing & reading. #MakerLibraries pic.twitter.com/fg5RBYqnft
#MakerLibraries consist of 3 key elements of a makespace, a gallery & a library connected via an online platform. pic.twitter.com/we19IhTGKo
The Maker Library Network was originally created @Connect_ZA to foster relationships between makers in #SouthAfrica & UK. #MakerLibraries
We now have 14 #MakerLibraries and are expanding to Nigeria, Turkey & Mexico. pic.twitter.com/epSYsEJdAY
Librarians select books to add to the Maker Library Network core set of texts. #MakerLibraries pic.twitter.com/OeUM1QSVyw
The Makespace is where skills are learnt and exchanged and projects take shape. #MakerLibraries pic.twitter.com/TgieqT1rgH
Now we’ll take a look at some of the projects & collaborations from across the Network. #MakerLibraries pic.twitter.com/bPPkzyfDIK
