2015 Board Report
WMS Library
MakerSpace/Library Commons
There are several physical changes made to enhance this learning area: whiteboard paint on tables, rolling shelves for maker resources, book shelves for maker books, casters on library tables, signage, and a marker projector screen. These changes go along with the shift of a library into a learning commons- a comfortable and flexible learning space. It is a space for group collaboration and individual study with the flexibility to meet user needs.
Some of the maker resources acquired this year are: craft items, snap circuits, littlebits, squishy circuits, makey-makey, ozobots, library made circuit boards, and paper circuits.
