#Colorado - #Libraries and the ‘economy of sharing’
An ode to the palace of the people
By Kaylee Harter - Apr. 9, 2025
"Visit one of BPL’s #makerspaces, a feature that’s become a staple in many libraries, and you can use #3DPrinters, #looms, #LaserCutters, #ScreenPrinting equipment and more.
" 'It’s a collaborative learning environment,' Farnan says. 'We’re learning together. If you were to go into the makerspace today and ask, like, ‘I’m thinking about doing this,’ then they would say, ‘I don’t know how to do that, but let’s figure it out.’
" 'That is inherently resilient.'
"He recalls a blind artist who came in with a unique challenge: 'She wanted to be able to see her drawings.'
" 'They worked with her with 3D printers, with the laser cutters and that kind of thing, in order to transfer her drawings into dimensional objects, because they were abstractions, so that she could then see them with her fingers.'
"Despite the always expanding array of programming and services, the books themselves — and literacy for all ages — are ever important."

Libraries and the 'economy of sharing' - Boulder Weekly
Libraries are "that safe place,” says Jon Solomon, director of Longmont's library. “If you’re feeling attacked, that’s what we’re here for.”Kaylee Harter (Boulder Weekly)
Wir basteln fleißig an der Hardware für #Hackathon und netzdienliche Speicher Projekt. Mit dieser Platte aus (digitalem) #Zähler, #Shelly, Steckdose, Einspeisesteckdosen, #Pi, Router können wir dann zusammen mit #Solar Speicher Haushalte simulieren.

#introduction
I’m Ruth - living in #Machynlleth, Wales. I love #singing (I lead a choir here), #hiking and getting to know the beautiful area of #eryri, where I live. I’m learning #cymraeg. I also help to run #machspace, our local #Makerspace. I enjoy #arts and #crafts, especially #collage, #zine making, #sewing, #knitting and #crochet and am also getting into #watercolour. Am hoping to soon become a #cat owner once I find a place I can live with a pet and do some #vegetableGardening.

the makerspace printer has been jamming a lot lately, so we decided to print a reusable sign for when it's not working. it jammed at the perfect point while printing the sign so we laminated it and now have the best out of order sign ever made
