The East Bonner County Library District is pleased to announce that we are one of six libraries from around the state invited to partici- pate in year two of the Idaho Commission for Libraries’ “Make It at the Library” pro- ject. Both the Clark Fork and Sandpoint Branches will participate in the year long project, which is designed to implement makerspaces in public librar- ies around the state. “Make It at the Library” encourages the use of new technologies and provides the necessary materials and training for library staff to implement creative, STEAM-based (science, technology, engi- neering, arts, mathematics) programming. During our participation in the “Make It at the Library” pro- ject, the Library staff will re- ceive tools that include state- of-the-art robotic, 3D printing, e-textile, and engineering resources. Staff training be- gins with a workshop at the Idaho Commission for Librar- ies in Boise, February 24-25, and will continue throughout the year. “‛Make It at the Library’” had a successful and exciting first year in 2013, and we are excited to embrace ‘making,’ to push the boundaries of programming with tweens and teens, and watch the creative results,” said the library Director Ann Nich- ols.“By providing materials and tools, instruction in the use of new technology, and an environment that supports the creative process, our library can level the playing field for our users who may not other- wise have the opportunity for this kind of inno- vative activity.” For more infor- mation on “Make It at the Library,” visit http://libraries.idaho.gov/make- it-at-the-library and www.facebook.com/MakeItIda ho .

The East Bonner County Library District is pleased to announce that we are one of six libraries from around the state invited to partici-pate in year two of the Idaho Commission for Libraries’ “Make It at the Library” pro-ject. Both the Clark Fork and Sandpoint Branches will participate in the year long project, which is designed to implement makerspaces in public librar-ies around the state. “Make It at the Library” encourages the use of new technologies and provides the necessary materials and training for library staff to implement creative, STEAM-based (science, technology, engi-neering, arts, mathematics) programming.
During our participation in the “Make It at the Library” pro-ject, the Library staff will re-ceive tools that include state-of-the-art robotic, 3D printing, e-textile, and engineering resources. Staff training be-gins with a workshop at the
Idaho Commission for Librar-ies in Boise, February 24-25, and will continue throughout the year. “‛Make It at the Library’” had a successful and exciting first year in 2013, and we are excited to embrace ‘making,’ to push the boundaries of programming with tweens
and teens, and watch the creative results,” said the library Director Ann Nich-ols.“By providing materials and tools, instruction in the use of new technology, and an environment that supports the creative process, our
library can level the playing field for our users who may not other-wise have the opportunity for this kind of inno-vative activity.” For more infor-mation on “Make
It at the Library,” visit http://libraries.idaho.gov/make-
